πβ¨ What an incredible year it's been at Theatre Led Arts! π
β¨As the academic year of 2024 has drawn to a close, we're reflecting on a whirlwind of a year filled with creativity, passion, and remarkable achievements.
Our talented performers dazzled audiences with captivating drama plays, and we proudly hosted two spectacular Raise Your Voice performances that left everyone in awe.
We are thrilled to announce that we successfully completed three sets of LAMDA exams with a phenomenal 100% pass rate! A special shoutout to our two star students who achieved the highest scores for the Gold Medal at an impressive 95/100! Our in-house examinations for drama and ACRO showcased the dedication and hard work of our incredible students, and our festive Christmas concert was the perfect finale to an extraordinary year.
From our littlest stars, starting as young as 2, to those leaving us at 18 years and above, each and every one of you has contributed to the magic of Theatre Led Arts. We cannot thank our parents, students, and supporters enough for their unwavering dedication and enthusiasm.
As we look ahead, 2025 promises to be just as exciting with our continued live shows leading up to the highly anticipated musical theatre show 'BACK ON STAGE' in March. We can't wait to embark on this new journey with all of you!
Our doors will be opening to new starters in September, and we invite anyone interested in joining our vibrant community to get in touch (07703 585407) ([email protected]) or visit our website www.theatreledarts.uk for more information about our classes.
Thank you once again for an unforgettable year. Hereβs to an even brighter 2025! π

πβ¨ An Unforgettable Workshop Day with Mark Hindle! β¨π
We are thrilled to share with you the incredible success of our recent workshop day with the extraordinary Mark Hindle!
From start to finish, it was an experience filled with passion, energy, and invaluable insights into the world of dance.
Our students were not just engagedβthey were absolutely captivated! Mark's dedication to technique and finish in both ballet and jazz was evident in every move, inspiring our dancers to reach new heights of excellence.
The blend of these two dance forms not only showcased the versatility of our performers but also provided them with a profound insight into the ever-evolving industry.
But the magic didn't stop there! During the enlightening Q&A session at the end of the workshop, Mark generously shared his wisdom and expertise, offering tips and advice that our students will carry with them throughout their dance journeys. His passion for the art form was palpable, and his commitment to nurturing young talent left a lasting impression on all of us.
TLA and its students expresses our deepest gratitude to Mark Hindle for gracing us with his presence and sharing his talents with us. It was truly an honour to have him inspire and uplift our students, and we look forward to carrying the lessons learned from this remarkable day with us as we continue to grow and thrive as dancers.
πβ¨ What an enchanting afternoon we had on Sunday at The Engine Shed Wetherby with the incredible young cast of "Jane & the Magical Peach"! π
Their performance was nothing short of magical, with their talent shining through every moment on stage. From their captivating portrayal of characters to their seamless delivery of lines, they truly brought the story to life!
π Huge applause to all the volunteers, chaperones, technical team, and front of house staff who made this production possible. Your dedication and hard work behind the scenes ensured that every aspect of the show ran smoothly and beautifully.
π A special shoutout to director Courtney Freckleton for her brilliant vision and guidance, and to Jennifer Whittaker for weaving such a wonderful tale with her writing. Together, they've created a captivating world that will stay with us long after the final curtain falls.
π And let's not forget the stunning costumes that our parents put together that added an extra layer of magic to the performance! Every detail was perfection, enhancing the charm and whimsy of the production.
Here's to many more magical performances to come! π

TLA has set up their own Amazon Wish List for their students for equipment and training aids!
Thanks to a wonderful parent/family who made it all happen and then sent us the most wonderful gift on the list we were humbled, eternally grateful and forever happy with our present.
As a not for profit organisation, every little idea helps!
So here is this post, a link to our very small but Iβm sure ever expanding wish list for our students and school that will enhance their training and make them smile and understand that SANTA has helpers and angels all over the place and not all of them wear red and appear once a year. Thank you Rachel and her family and thanks to all who will make this possible :)))))
As we approach the holiday season, many of us are considering what gifts to get for our loved ones. This year, why not consider giving the gift of confidence to a child in your life through performing arts?
Not only will the child benefit from improved confidence and self-esteem, but they will also have a lot of fun and create lasting memories. So this Christmas, consider giving a child in your life the gift of performing arts β it may be the best gift they ever receive!
Gifts can range from a monthβs lessons, private drama 121, a full term or moreβ¦.

This week, two of our students attended the Trinity Laban Summer School, Musical Theatre course in London.
They have taken away so much from the course and would recommend it to anyone considering this as a career or to simply immerse themselves in the arts.
Here is a short glimpse of their week away!
