“Since joining Starmaker my son Jack has gained so much confidence. Not just in his performing skills but all round. He constantly sings the songs he’s been learning in class and has so much enthusiasm. He recently auditioned for a part in Matilda and decided he needed more dancing skills, so he’s now enrolled in ‘Street dance’ which he absolutely LOVES!! I can’t rave enough and look forward to next term. Thank you.”
