Razzamataz Theatre Schools Wakefield celebrated its second birthday by inviting family and friends into their studios to see students perform for the very first time.

Opening in September 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, has meant that all the students’ performances so far have either been online or have been recorded without an audience.

Principal Helen Mayes said: “performing for a camera involves very different skills from performing in front of an audience. It was amazing to see our students rise to the challenge of their first live performance!

"The students of all ages from four to 18 gave it their all and it was wonderful to see them glowing with pride at what they achieved!”

Student Anna, 14, said: “I was nervous before we went on stage, but as soon as we started our performance the nerves just disappeared. I loved every moment.”

Her mum, Claire, : “I was so proud. It was lovely to see what she had learned and how she had progressed; I was blown away by how confident she was.”

Razzamataz Wakefield offers weekly classes in dance, singing and drama to children and young people aged four-18.
