About Us

Born to Perform Stage School was set up in 2017 by Gabrielle Onyett. The school hosts classes for students aged between 4 and 17 years old, who have an interest or desire to perform. 

​

We currently host a drama class on a Thursday evening from 5pm-6pm (term time) for 6-11 year olds and a Saturday school from 2pm-6pm (term time) for 6-17 year olds and 12:30pm-2:00pm for 4-6 year olds. The Saturday stage school encompasses the three art disciplines; drama, dance and singing, into a three hour workshop for the older students and a one and a half hour workshop for the younger students. Additionally, we offer Saturday drama, dance and singing lessons separately and one to one singing and the LAMDA syllabus is taught in our drama classes. Within lessons, the students will work on technique, stage presence and all round confidence. If you would like to know more about a specific class, please visit our classes page.

​

Additionally, we run a Summer school and workshops for those students that really enjoy being on stage. At Born to Perform, we pride ourselves on going the extra mile to ensure our students are learning and growing. We encourage all students to push themselves, from confidence building to performance technique. 

​

Our classes and Saturday school are a brilliant way for your child to engage with others and express themselves. We truly believe that every Born to Perform student is a star in their own right!
