Her confidence is developing and she is an all rounder, showing great enthusiasm for all aspects of the performances. Holly however, is our 'go to' when it comes to the younger children. If anyone is upset, nervous or unsure, along comes Holly and she looks after them. She's so kind and caring and the children love her.

Isabella has been with us for just over a year and in that time, has really impressed us with her commitment to the group. Her confidence has grown dramatically and she is developing as a lovely perfomer. What impresses us most about Isabella is her kind and caring nature. Nothing is too much trouble and she is fantastic at helping the younger ones.

He is very enthusiastic and willing to get involved in anything (including performing as a stepsister!).

He is very confident and likes to have an input into the dance routines, helping out as much as possible.

She is a great role model to the younger children. 

Paige

Paige has only been with us for a short time, but has already shown great enthusiasm and was the first to learn all of her lines. As our oldest of the TheatreKids, she is able to help the younger ones and as a fantastic dancer, she is really helpful at assisting in teaching of the dances.
