Musical Theatre - Hastings Thrives

We work with schools and the community to provide enrichment activities which are inspiring and inclusive.

Sing, Dance & Act

This course is for families receiving benefits-related free school meals* and is funded by the Government’s Holiday Food and Activities programme, run by East Sussex County Council.

The course is a magical winter journey of fun, dancing, singing and acting for all abilities, exploring Christmas films. Led by Aspire Performing Arts teachers Suzie Dunster and Becky Knight, they help grow confidence and build friendships.
