Is Twinkle Stars right for my child?
Twinkle Stars is perfect for children aged 3–5, whether they're taking their very first steps into performing arts or already love singing, dancing and pretending at home.
Our classes are particularly popular with children who:
- Love music, movement and imaginative play
- Need a confidence boost before starting school
- Are a little shy in new situations
- Have lots of energy and enjoy being active
- Would benefit from developing social and communication skills
Every child is welcomed exactly as they are, and there's never any pressure to perform before they're ready.
Building confidence for life
At this age, performing arts can support much more than performance skills. Through play, movement and working with others, children naturally develop confidence, communication, listening, coordination and independence.
Most importantly, we want children to leave class feeling happy, proud of themselves and excited to come back.
A gentle and supportive approach
We understand that every child is different.
Some children can't wait to jump straight into every activity, while others prefer to watch for a little while before joining in. That's absolutely okay.
We gently encourage every child at their own pace, celebrating the little steps as well as the big ones.

Optional Performance Opportunities: Throughout the year, children may have opportunities to take part in optional performances and special events, giving them a fun and supportive introduction to performing for family and friends.
There’s never any pressure — the focus is always on helping each child feel comfortable and proud of taking part.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my child need any experience?
Not at all! Twinkle Stars is designed for complete beginners, and everyone is welcome.
What should my child wear?
For their trial, comfortable clothing they can move freely in is absolutely fine — there's no need to buy anything special before they start.
Do parents stay during the class?
It’s completely up to you! Some parents choose to stay and watch, while others prefer to leave their child with us and return at the end of the class — both are absolutely fine.
We know every child is different, especially when trying something new, so you’re very welcome to do whatever helps your child feel most comfortable. There’s no expectation either way, and you can always change what you do as their confidence grows.
Can we try a class first?
Yes! We offer trial classes so your child can experience the fun before joining.
My child is quite shy. Will they be okay?
We completely understand — lots of young children feel unsure when trying somewhere new. We never force children to join in and are very happy for them to watch at first while they become familiar with the class.
We'll gently encourage them when they feel ready.
