About this class
Perform has been running at Reigate Community Centre every Wednesday since January 2016. The class is run by Lewis and Amber, and Area Partner Sophie visits regularly — meaning your child is likely to see familiar faces week after week.
Each 60-minute session blends drama, dance and singing into three distinct sections. For the 4–7s (Wednesdays 4–5pm), the session covers movement work — dances, rapid-reaction games and yoga-inspired mirroring — alongside vocal work through specially composed songs, tongue-twisters and raps, and imaginative play through character explorations and storytelling improvisations. The 7–12s class (5:05–6:05pm) shifts gear: acting and improvisation develop vocal projection and on-stage presence, movement and dance work progresses towards more technical skills, and speech and singing build articulation and musical reading. Class sizes are capped at 22 children and there are always two Perform staff in the room.
The current term at Reigate runs from 15 April to 15 July 2026, with no session on Wednesday 27 May. The 4–7s are currently sailing with Mermaids & Pirates; the 7–12s are working through The Dream — Perform's take on A Midsummer Night's Dream, featuring Oberon, Titania and a cast of footballers, pop stars and celebrities. Because Perform uses a rolling curriculum, children can join at any point in the term rather than waiting for September.

Common questions
Can my child try a session before we commit?
Yes — every child is entitled to a free trial class. You can book through Perform's website, via the class Producer, or by phone, with no obligation to continue afterwards.
What ages does this class take?
Two groups: 4–7s (Wednesdays 4–5pm) and 7–12s (Wednesdays 5:05–6:05pm). In the 4–7s group, the mixed age range is intentional — younger children pick things up from older classmates, while the older ones gain confidence by taking on a more active role. In the 7–12s group, Perform says previous experience and character are more relevant than exact age.
How are classes booked and paid for?
Classes are purchased in blocks of 10 or 20 sessions. You can also renew to the end of term at a slightly higher per-class rate, or pay monthly by Direct Debit. Perform does not offer refunds, but you can cancel with three days' notice and the credit stays on your account for future use on other Perform products. If your child misses a session, a make-up system lets them attend another Perform venue subject to availability. A bursary scheme is available and Perform accepts childcare vouchers. New customers who join the mailing list receive £30 off their first block of 10 classes.
What does a typical session look like?
Each class covers drama, dance and singing, with the content varying week by week. The curriculum is built around what Perform calls the 4 Cs — Confidence, Concentration, Communication and Coordination. Parents receive a weekly email from the class Producer explaining that week's focus, and a personalised written Feedback Form each term, signed off by Principal Lucy Quick.
