Founded in 2005 in Manchester, Footlights is a UK network of children’s stage schools offering weekly performing arts classes in acting, singing and dancing.

Over the past 20 years, Footlights has grown from a single school in the North West to a nationwide community. Classes now run across the UK, from local centres to major cities including London.

At the heart of everything we do is a supportive, inclusive environment where children and young people can build confidence, develop performance skills and feel part of something special. Whether they are stepping on stage for the first time or building on existing experience, classes run during term time, after school, at weekends and during the school holidays.
