Good questions, answered

Children aged 6 to 12, from first-time performers to children who already love the stage.

Mondays and Fridays, 4:00 to 5:00 PM, at FanFan in Azabudai.

Yes. Sessions build up gently from group games to small solo moments, so confidence grows at each child's pace.

A term is a set block of weekly classes with a clear start and end. Children learn best with continuity, so we suggest joining for the whole term. This term runs September to December 2026. Our terms are September to December, January to March and April to July. It has 24 sessions. Nothing is paid online: we call you to arrange payment after we confirm your place.
