Future Stars Performing Arts Course (previously West End at Windermere)

Sing. Dance. Act. Shine.

Does your child love to perform? Do they dream of stepping into the spotlight, taking centre stage, and building confidence while having incredible fun?

This summer, join Windermere School’s hugely popular Future Stars Performing Arts Course (previously West End at Windermere) and experience an unforgettable week of singing, dancing, acting and creativity.

Whether your child is a budding West End performer or simply enjoys expressing themselves, Future Stars offers the perfect opportunity to develop new skills, make friends and grow in confidence in a fun, supportive environment.

Throughout the week, children will work alongside two outstanding theatre professionals:

Ashley Johnson (Hairspray, Guys & Dolls, Cinderella) and Emily Scott (Beetlejuice, Hairspray, Sister Act), who will share their expertise, enthusiasm and passion for performing arts.

What to Expect

Every day is packed with exciting activities including:

• Learning energetic dance routines in our specialist dance studio
• Singing favourite musical theatre songs as part of an ensemble
• Building confidence through vocal coaching and performance exercises
• Exploring improvisation and scripted drama scenes
• Developing stage presence, creativity and teamwork
• Having fun, making friends and creating lasting memories

No previous experience is required – just enthusiasm, imagination and a willingness to give it a go!

Showcase Performance

The week culminates in a special showcase performance in Crampton Hall Theatre, where students will share what they have learned with family and friends.

The performance begins at 3.30pm on Friday, and friends and family are invited to attend free of charge.

More Than Just Performing
