Performing Arts

We are jumping, turning and leaping with excitement to soon welcome you to join our Performing Arts Lessons! 

Do you have a child who is interested in dancing? They could learn Ballet, Tap Dance or Street Dance with us at Talacre.

Our courses run from tots to teens providing community arts based education. Come and join one of our classes and immerse yourself in a world of fun, creativity and self-expression.

Each lesson will be working towards an "Open Studio/Watching Week " session where parents and families are invited in to see exactly what their children have achieved. Details of this will be shared towards the end of term.

Get ready to be inspired! We can't wait to welcome you to the stage.
