Fiorentini Weenies classes introduce early-years students to the fun and excitement of the performing arts. In a safe and nurturing environment, children can explore new skills, make new friends and have fun. And new for this term and due to popular demand, we have added a new Weenies school at Docklands so you can choose between two sessions. The classes will include a combination of singing, dance and drama and will be designed to encourage creative and social development. We aim to inspire young imaginations and build confidence through inventive play, basic performance skills covering drama, signing and dance and artistic self-expression. Once your Weenie reaches the age of 7 they will be ready to graduate up to our Main School which we can make an easy transition. They will have built the foundations of a successful performer and will be ready to challenge and enjoy themselves further in the Main School. In the Main School they can use the fundamentals they have been taught in Weenies, alongside the confidence gained to really shine in public performances, starring in their own films, devising their own work and much, much more. Please note, students must arrive at least 10 minutes before classes start.

Our Performance Troupe is open to students from 11-18 years old. Students follow a weekly timetable of Musical Theatre based training all taught by our musical director Jack Holliday and our choreographer Aaron Wingrove Littman, both of whom have a wonderful rapport with young people. The Anna Fiorentini Performance Troupe is made up of our students that want that extra little push each week and the opportunity to perform at a range of community events and spread joy through performance. This Troupe is the face of the school and its charitable arm the Fiorentini Foundation. Our Performance Troupe performs in local hospitals, care homes and homes for the elderly as well as a variety of community and corporate events. To date, the Performance Troupe has performed at: The Museum of Docklands St. Joseph’s Hospice, (Hackney) Homerton University Hospital City & Islington business Awards RBS St. Mary’s Hospitals KPMG Canary Wharf Festival The Hospital Club Islington giving alongside Help the Aged The Emirates stadium We are training our students to be triple threat performers which is what the industry is asking for more and more. We encourage our students to hone their musicality and be able to combine this with acting and handling choreography. Even straight singers need to understand acting through song and, vice-versa, actors need to be able to hold a tune and use their physicality. We really feel this three-prong approach will stand our students head and shoulders above other performers in their field and allows to showcase themselves in the best possible light across all platforms. Please note, students must arrive at least 10 minutes before classes start.

Students are put into groups according to their age. On their very first day they will be buddied up with one or two other students so that they have ready-made friends that can look out for them and make them feel welcome and ease their nerves. Most weeks students will follow a time-table of Drama /Film, Singing and Dance. Each class is just under an hour. Occasionally all the departments work together especially if working towards a showing or a music video for example. There are huge benefits to working cross-media, sometimes dance rehearsals are filmed and students may combine singing and film to make their own music video which really allows our students to feel like the professionals we are training them up to be!
