Starz Shows are a magical experience where everyone is welcome!
At Starz, our primary aim is to introduce the children to the stage with a nurturing and fun attitude. We believe in creating a supportive environment where there is no pressure to perform with any sort of perfection, always keeping in mind the young age of all our pupils.
Our approach to the show day is all about fostering confidence and a sense of accomplishment for our young performers. Our teachers to join younger children on stage, providing them with the comfort and support they need to truly enjoy the experience.
The show day is a magical event, especially for those who will be stepping on stage for the first time. We want every child and their family to savour this unforgettable moment without feeling any pressure. To keep the show accessible to all, we have worked hard to keep our show costs affordable. Our Show fees cover the use of a costume and accessories, dress rehearsal, and show performance within a professional theatre. Everyone even receives their own exclusive show t-shirt to wear in our finale and as a keepsake. Parents are also emailed a link to download a professional video recording of our show.
Spaces for dances are limited for safety, so we encourage you to book your spot as soon as possible to secure your place in the show. You will receive an invite via email from Starz Ballet, specifying the show and dance you are involved in.
While there is no obligation to buy theatre tickets, we must let you know that our shows tend to sell out quickly. If you wish to purchase tickets, we recommend doing so promptly to avoid disappointment.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Oh, yes! - We extend a warm invitation to all Starz pupils to join us on stage for our shows. We hope that your child can be a part of this exciting and confidence building experience.
No worries! We understand that dance routines can be a lot to remember, especially for
our young performers. We have plenty of practice time, and your child's
teacher will be right there with them on stage. They can follow their
teacher's lead and receive guidance, helping them build confidence
throughout this new experience. We do not expect perfection from any of
our dancers and will nurture and support them every step of the way.
For children under 3 years
old, one parent will stay with their child during the dress run and show
time. This parent will not need a show ticket, as they will either be on
stage supporting their little one or watching from the wings.
If your child is 3 years or older, they will be well looked after by two adult
helpers from their class. You can also volunteer to be the adult helper if
you prefer. To ensure a smooth backstage experience and avoid
overcrowding, we can only accommodate one adult per child backstage.
Absolutely! We will be looking for two adult
helpers per dance for all children over 3 years old. At least one of the
helpers needs to have a recent DBS check. Feel free to talk to your child's
teacher to express your interest in helping, as our teachers are organizing
helpers for their dances.
The safety and well-being of our
young performers are of utmost importance to us. We have robust
safeguarding and Health & Safety procedures in place for the show day.
Our dedicated teaching team will be supervising the children at all times,
in addition to our adult helpers.
To ensure a secure backstage environment, access to the children in our
dressing rooms and backstage areas is strictly managed through our
wristband system. Adults (one per booked child) are issued with
wristbands to maintain a controlled and safe environment.
Rest assured, your child's safety is our priority, and we strive to provide a
positive and secure experience for all involved in the Starz Show.
Unfortunately children do get sick, and when this happens they, of course, need to stay home.
In this instance your class teacher will adjust the dance on the day or one of our Assistants will step in to ensure that the other children can still perform in place of your child.
Your child will still receive their keepsake show t-shirt and will have another opportunity to perform at our watching week at the end of term - you would be welcome to bring relatives to watch this performance as they will have missed watching at the theatre.
Due to the nature of organising and preparing for a professional theatre show, we do not offer refunds.
