Nina Thompson is proud to announce our new Performance Academy launching September 2008.

Do you love dancing, acting and singing, then born2perform is for you.

The key to all of our productions is the team of performers who undertake the more challenging dance routines, that help to link the show together and from these dancers, the main characters are then selected. We encourage them to develop individual skills and bring out the best in each performer. If the show contains acting or singing, external teachers are brought in to work with the students.

We are proud to provide young talent for both amateur and professional productions throughout the region. Most recently our performers have taken part in local pantomimes, West End at Home with Earl Carpenter, English Youth Ballet productions, West End Nights by Wimborne Theatre Group.

To become a member of born2perform, you must be studying all 3 dance disciplines at Footlight’s, tap, ballet and modern, be in school years 1+ on the audition date in September and have the commitment to attend regular rehearsals on Saturdays (sometimes during the holidays). We divide the students into sessions according to age.

Each September all of the performers need to re-audition to be a member of born2perform.

The Auditions will be on 13th September 2008 - places are limited
