About Us
THE SCHOOL
Originally TMT offered only Musical Theatre Classes, but due to Musical Theatre being a
combination of all areas of the performing arts – the school now offers excellent training to
produce strong all round versatile performers.TMT differs in that alongside working on stage
technique & performance there is also emphasis placed on each individual subject, allowing each
student to obtain qualifications in their chosen fields working on both their strengths and
weaknesses in dance, drama & singing accordingly.
DANCE
Dance is an integral part of the school. Pupils are encouraged to improve awareness, strength and
flexibility working within their own limits and ability. Older pupils will be educated on the basic
understanding of the human body so as to avoid injury. Classes are offered in Ballet, Modern,
Tap, Street Jazz/Hip Hop, Double Work & GCSE Dance.
Ballet
Ballet is the foundation of all other dance disciplines. Classes develop a correct posture, stamina
and good basic technique. For Ballet the school follows both the RAD & ISTD Syllabus.
Tap & Modern

in both Modern & Tap. These classes also cover various routines & rhythms enabling pupils to
develop a wide repertoire of combinations.

student’s abilities at all times, developing self esteem.
