Hi parents, after watching Wicked with my daughter (8), she’s super into musical theatre. Started checking out some performing arts schools that do theatre and dance because she also loves ballet and hip hop.

At first, I thought I found a good one, trial class went well and she liked it. But then I talked to some parents and heard some things that made me worry a bit.

Apparently, sometimes teachers get switched last minute and have to teach styles they don’t really know? Sounds like no proper backup plan, they just get anyone to cover even if not trained. It makes me wonder if they really care about the kids learning or just trying to fill slots.

As a parent paying good money, I want the best for my girl. So just sharing in case other mums are looking too.

The place is Emerge Arts and Media Academy. The kids seem to enjoy the classes but please check properly before signing up.
