Joining Let’s act was the best thing we as a family could have ever done Lani is now at drama school in London. Katy loves her Tuesday and Friday class. I have made fantastic lifelong friends and have been known to take the stage myself with the adult Rock choir

We’re quite new to Let’s Act but Izzy has been loving it and it’s been a highlight of lockdown.

Gemma and Addison

Best thing we could have done for our little boy. Addison started in the baby class around 3 years old and has progressed through to the Donaldsons class. He has grown in confidence, found his voice and his stammer has completely gone. All the teachers are amazing with the children and he has met some fantastic life long friends. Xx

My two daughters attend Lets Act and learn how to dance sing and act. They have made some great friends and really have developed their confidence. The teachers are caring and supportive. It is a friendly school where children and young people can be themselves.

Belinda McCall

We love let’s act! My two girls have been doing it since they were 4. The confidence they get from regularly performing is really lovely to see. Miss Amy and all the teachers are truly brilliant and create a really nurturing environment. It is really like a family! There are opportunities to get agents and auditions if that’s what you want and they do Lamda exams, but if you just want have a fun activity where your children can build confidence and make friends then it’s also perfect! Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
