We tailor our training to your strengths
We like to treat every student as an individual, developing your abilities whilst ensuring you have a strong, broad foundation training in musical theatre. To ensure proper individual training, we stream our musical theatre students through two pathways: singing extension and dance extension.
You will obtain most of the same training in both pathways, the key difference will be the order in which you take the classes.
Our academic team will evaluate your skills and stream you accordingly.
Singing Extension
For those with a stronger singing technique.
In addition to the core musical theatre training, you will explore classes like Singing styles and Commercial singing.
Dance extension students also attend these classes later in the programme.
Dance Extension
For those with stronger triple threat abilities.
In addition to the core musical theatre training, you will explore classes like Commercial dance and Aerial and acrobatics.
Singing extension students also attend these classes later in the programme.
