WESTSIDE Performing Arts

WestSide was founded by Elizabeth Ennis in 1998. The School caters for children, teenagers and young adults and provides quality teaching and training in a range of Performing Arts disciplines.

Running through the schools classes in singing, dancing and drama there is a strong emphasis on delivering professionally taught classes with technique forming the building blocks for the student’s artistic development.

The children and their development are at the heart of the school and we encourage them, through the classes, to really enjoy the theatrical world. We create a safe environment where we nourish the individuality and creative spirit of all our students encouraging them to grow in confidence as performers and as people.

Westside is a unique school as students are offered pre-professional classes, examination classes, recreational classes, competition classes, performance classes and technique classes to the highest standard. Westside nurture young people to excel and reach their full potential, encourage them as they follow their dreams and enable them to become more confident beings.

What we develop is not unique to the performing arts, they are skills that we know from experience will extend long into our students lifetimes. How we develop our students is, however, unique!

Westside offers this opportunity to children as young as 4 through to young adults, through a range of classes given by hand-picked teachers. Our faculty has been assembled based on their professionalism, qualifications, high standards and specialist knowledge in their arts discipline. But most importantly we have a student-centered ethos so children are being taught in a caring, safe environment because we believe ‘what and how we learn becomes part of who we are’. We pride ourselves on being the leaders in our field. We have fully functioning studios for each discipline at Westside.
