Afonso School of Performing Arts

General information

Afonso School of Performing Arts is run by a husband and wife team, both West End professionals, with credits including We Will Rock You, Chicago, Top Hat, Thriller Live and BBC's The Voice UK. We aim to create a fun, yet disciplined environment in which our students can develop skills in dance, acting and singing.

The classes we have on offer are in ballet, tap and musical theatre, and would like to encourage our pupils to participate in all 3 classes, where possible. We have structured our timetable with this in mind and there is a discounted rate for anyone doing so. The reason for encouraging this, is that we believe that it produces a better standard of performer, which is what we hope to achieve at our school.
We also have pre-school classes in ballet, following the Melody Bear Syllabus, and Disney Song & Dance, which is an introduction to musical theatre for age 3-4 yrs.

Being parents ourselves, we understand how important it is for you to see your child happy, whilst developing a skill for life, and so we ensure you that our classes will be fun, yet structured and rewarding. We follow the IDTA syllabus and will aim to begin entering our pupils for examinations in 2015. Parents will regularly have the opportunity to see how their child is improving at the end of each term, with short presentations.
