Spotlight Stage School Description

SPOTLIGHT is an independent part-time stage school based in North Solihull (Castle Bromwich & Kingshurst). It is the only school in the area where performers can train in ALL aspects of theatre arts whilst continuing academic studies at their existing school.

Choose from classes in;
* Theatre Dance (Ballet, Tap, Modern Jazz & Theatre Craft)
* Freestyle Street Dance & Hip Hop / Breakdance
* Drama
* Singing
* Gymnastics & Acrobatics
* Adults (Salsa & Freestyle Street Fitness)
* Boys Only Lessons
* Toddler Lessons & Pre-School Lessons
* Additional Lessons (Contemporary Dance, Musical Theatre, Pointe Work Ballet)

Each discipline is taught by a specialist teacher who is a professional in their field. The school also attracts a variety of 'guest' teachers. All staff are fully qualified and CRB checked.

There are both beginner classes and lessons for those with previous experience, for boys and girls aged 30 months through to adult. Pupils can attend for fun, to make new friends, to increase self-confidence, or with a view to becoming a professional performer /teacher of theatre arts.

The school currently provides tuition to well over 350 pupils. Our large membership means that we can split classes by both age AND ability to ensure every pupil receives the best possible tuition.

SPOTLIGHT offers fun and rewarding classes with the chance to take I. D. T. A. government recognised exams, participate in shows & enter competitions. We also have an in-school agency for pupils who wish to work professionally.

Due to highly qualified teaching staff and excellent pupil: teacher ratios, we have a 100% A*-C pass rate in exams, with many students being nominated for and winning international scholarships for achieving exceptionally high marks. Pupils have won numerous medals and trophies in regional and national competitions, including British titles. Pupils regularly appear in shows at prestigious venues including Disneyland Paris, West End Theatres & the O2 Arena, as well as local theatres such as the Birmingham Hippodrome, Alex Theatre, Birmingham Rep, Wolverhampton Grand, NEC, ICC, MAC & Solihull Arts Complex.

All pupils are automatically represented by the SPOTLIGHT AGENCY and can be considered for paid /professional work if they so wish. Such work includes films, TV dramas /commercials, professional stage productions (inc. national tours), modelling and work in recording studios.

We are open throughout the week, though all the main classes are held on a Saturday. Please contact us for exact times based on age and ability.

We operate from 2 fantastic venues in North Solihull which are very spacious with ample free car-parking.

Fees are very low, starting at £1. 50 /30 mins, as we are supported by the National Lottery, Solihull Community Foundation & B’ham Airport. We also offer a pay-as-you-go system, so parents do not have to commit to a course of lessons.

Please visit our website for full details - feel free to come and try out our classes, and meet the friendly staff & members.

When my daughter started spotlight she was very nervous and even had a lot of tears! Now 4 weeks in, she never wants to leave!!! Always comes out with massive smiles. She loves it that much she now does every class from 9am-1:30 and still asks if she can stay longer!! lol just want to say a big thanks to everyone at spotlight for making her feel welcome, all staff and children are very friendly. She already has lots of best friends and as her mom that makes me happy that she's happy! :)

This stage school made me the dancer i am today, my passion and dream of dance began in 2003 with my first exam. Vicky Richards is an amazing teacher and although she may yell and scream you realize all she wants for you is perfection and that is what she does, she takes dancer with potential and turns them into amazing dancers. I would recommend this school to anybody and everyone, and if i was still living in England i would still be there today! It is a great school that started my 10 years of dancing. Xx

Seeing how Rubie - Lou started off as a clueless 5 year old. To now seeing how far she's progressed and what she's capable of is truly a great testament to the professionalism and dedication of the spotlight teachers and stage school.

Hi Vicky

My daughter Poppy Lawlor has been coming for 4 weeks now... I just wanted to say she absolutely loves it.... it is great how she can attend all 3 of her classes in one go... the break time is such a fab idea too..... As her mum I already feel that she is safe and happy at spotlight.....



Poppy attended a street dance class for nearly 2 years and I have never seen her so happy to go in, you should be very proud.

Thank you.

A very happy Mummy.

My first daughter attended spotlight for 4 years finishing in 2006. My second daughter now attends and has been going for nearly 5 years starting at the age of 3. Both have loved every minute with one still enjoying and I have seen the school grow during that time to the bigger successful stage school it is today. Non of this would have been possible without the foresight, endeavour and relentless efforts of the talented Vicky Richards. We are proud to be part of the spotlight family and would highly recommend.

My daughter started in September, she absolutely loves her dancing school, miss Vicky is brilliant with the kids and the young girls who assist with the teaching are an absolute asset to the school and you can see how much the young ones love them. We have only just started our spotlight journey but I have nothing but positive things to say about the school

My daughter has been going to spotlight for over a year now and she absolutely loves it! Always comes back home excited and happy, and wanting to show us what she has learnt new. Her confidence has come on leaps and bounds since going to spotlight to the point she got lead roll in Alice in wonderland at primary school this year. There are always opportunities to do something exciting X

My daughter has been at the school from the very beginning so I have watched the school grow and thrive. The principle of the school is amazing and gets the best out of every pupil. At competitions, both regional and national, spotlight children stand out a mile. I cannot begin to count the amount of gold medals my children have won. The exam marked gained by pupils from the school are amongst the highest in the country. I am so glad that I sent my children to SPOTLIGHT. I honestly believe you would not find a better theatre school. I am so proud of what my daughters have achieved and the opportunities that they have had are incredible. :) x

Ever since Chanele started Spotlight from another dance school approx a year ago, she has developed into a bright, confident and talented little girl and her dance techniques are nothing but the best. Even after doing 3 lots of lessons each week, she continues practicing her routine by herself at home. She absolutely loves it.

User

As a previous pupil myself, there from day 1 of the school opening i can honestly say it was some of the best years of my life !

Amazing memories dancing at Disney Land, London Palladium and in many other great places !

Vicky really does work so hard and deserves massive amounts of praise for the amazing talent she has created by giving people a chance to shine !!!

After a few years gap between me leaving and becoming a Mummy to my second child my little Evie (now age 6) attends Spotlight and has done since 2.5 years old (the second she was old enough to start she did)

She's loves every second and has been in professional shows, completed & passed exams and now is in the Festival Team !
