Perform Faversham runs performing arts sessions for children in the town, combining drama, dance and singing. It is aimed at young people developing confidence and creativity through the stage rather than at adult dance training. Families in Faversham looking for a lively, imaginative weekly class are its main audience. As a drama-led school, movement forms one part of a broader mix.
The approach centres on play, imagination and self-expression, with children encouraged to take part and grow in confidence. It reads as an energetic, welcoming group where enjoyment leads the way.
Sessions blend drama games, singing and dance, with the movement side building coordination, rhythm and stage presence in an age-appropriate way. Line dancing in Faversham is not the focus here, so this is best thought of as an all-round performing arts class rather than a single dance style.
A child new to Perform can expect a friendly, playful welcome and gentle encouragement to join in at their own pace. Comfortable clothing they can move and play in, plus soft shoes, is all that is required.
The sessions take place in Faversham, within easy reach of the surrounding area by car and local transport.
Common starting moves are the grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle. Linking them lets you follow many beginner dances.
Short, repeating dances such as the Electric Slide are usually the easiest first step, as the sequence stays the same throughout.
Yes, many styles are danced solo, including street and line dancing, so no partner is needed to take part.
Comfortable clothes that allow free movement and soft, flexible shoes suit most sessions. For a children's class, the school can confirm any preferences.
Fees depend on session length and whether you pay per term or per class, so ask the school for current prices. Taster sessions are often available.
Styles with clear, repeatable steps are the most approachable for newcomers. For children, a mixed performing arts class introduces several forms at once.
