Musical Theatre Classes for Kids in Edinburgh

What is Musical Theatre?

Our students (cast members) train in all the core skills required to be on stage in a Broadway musical theatre show. We include singing, acting, acting through song, dance, and stage choreography.

Benefits for your child

Musical theatre training builds confidence, stimulates creativity, and provides a safe space for self expression, developing well-rounded and versatile students who remain friends for life.

Performance Opportunities

Our cast members get the opportunity to be on stage every year in our annual June MT Show and our December Singers Showcase.

Where Our Classes Run

Classes run at DN Studios in South Gyle and Chesser in Edinburgh, and in South Queensferry at Rosebery Hall.

SPOTLIGHT

Spotlight is our annual stage performance programme offered to all students. Once a year, all age groups come together to perform an adaptation of a stage show classic in one of Edinburgh’s many beautiful theatre venues.

It’s a great way to give students a taste of the big stage, develop confidence and to showcase their skills and musical development to family and friends. We also produce an in house ‘singing showcase’ every December to get us in the spirit of Christmas!

Amazing

“I was so impressed by how quickly you mobilised classes on zoom & got the girls engaged and doing something they genuinely love. It was honestly one of the highlights of each lockdown week. As a Mum I loved hearing bits of the class each week, the music, the dancing and the chatter and giggles.”

Great Variety

“Fantastic mix of singing, acting and dancing. My daughter loves her classes each week”

Camaraderie

“The camaraderie between all the kids is so clear to see, which is lovely, in such a short length of time since the group started. It’s like a DN Theatre family. Going forward, I can only see this getting bigger and bigger….. I am beyond words! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Unapologetically themselves

“The best thing I think is watching the kids all being so comfortable in being unapologetically themselves and being able to express themselves and shine in such a safe environment. Thank you for all you do!”

Inclusive

“Both boys loved the rehearsals and the shows. The enthusiasm of the teachers really encouraged the kids confidence to grow and get them to join in regardless of their age!”

Confidence

“It is so nice to see the students grow in confidence so much by taking part in the Spotlight performances. They always put on such a good show.”

Fantastic

“Our child enjoyed every minute of rehearsals and the show. There was a real feeling of togetherness between the cast and the staff. Well done to everyone involved, a fantastic experience.”
