A BRAND new performing arts company has opened its doors in Kingswinford offering youngsters a chance to take classes in a range of disciplines.

Inspire, based at The Crestwood School, in Bromley Lane, welcomed a number of local children, aged between six and 15, to a free taster session last week.

The budding young performers were able to improve their acting, singing and dancing skills from the company’s experienced staff.

Deb Brook, group leader, said: “They all said that they had had great fun and would be returning this week when fee paying sessions begin for the next seven weeks until Christmas.”

Inspire is open to children and young people aged between five and 21, and aims to develop key skills in music, drama and dance through fun sessions.

The company also holds piano lessons for beginners up to grade five and individual lessons for students wishing to work towards drama exams, festivals or auditions.

For more information about the classes, which take place on Fridays from 5pm until 8pm, contact Deb by calling 07824 552431 or email deb.inspire@outlook.com
