A SUSSEX town has been headhunted by an expanding performance school.

Perform children’s drama school will arrive in Haywards Heath on September 20.

The Perform Drama, Dance and Singing Workshops will run in Haywards Heath from September 2014.

Principal Lucy Quick said: “We are incredibly excited about opening in Haywards Heath.

“We have a fantastic venue and have found some brilliant local people to lead the workshops.

“Perform is a new type of children’s drama school.

“Focusing on child development, we use a unique mix of drama, dance and singing specially formulated to bring out every child’s true potential.

“Classes are kept small to ensure lots of individual attention by our experienced actors and teachers.

“We work exclusively with four to 12-year-old children and the focus is entirely on The Four Cs – Confidence, Communication, Co-ordination and Concentration.

“We don’t send children to auditions or castings, but focus on helping children develop their social skills whilst having the best fun of the week.”

They are also centrally run as opposed to being a franchised business.

Classes will run on Saturdays at The Clair Hall in Perrymount Road at 9.30am to 11am for four to seven-year-olds and 11.15am to 12.45pm for seven to 12-year-olds.

All children are invited to a free drama class at their nearest Perform venue.
