Noodle Tots

This is a great introduction to the performing arts for toddlers (walking to age 3). The 30-minute classes use singing, music, dance and drama to help little ones develop their social skills, build their confidence and have lots and lots of fun.

Performing Arts 

From the age of 3, our performing arts classes teach singing, dance and acting in a variety of affordable sessions. Children learn valuable theatre skills but in a less intense and formal environment than traditional stage schools.

We offer 2 separate performing arts classes – Age 3-6 and Age 5-9

Noodle teachers understand that no child is the same and our fun and friendly approach ensures we get the best out of all our students from the very shyest to the most boisterous. Our focus is on helping our students to flourish and gain confidence, as well as on passing on our love of the performing arts.
