NIX Academy, Teddington and Hampton Wick's much-loved dance and performing arts studio, has announced an exciting opportunity for budding young performers.

 Nix is offering 10 free places for its new Tiny and Mini Stage Stars programmes this Saturday, 25 January.

Why take part? Research shows that introducing children to performing arts during their early years (ages 3-7) can significantly boost their confidence, creativity, and social skills.

 During these formative years, children are naturally imaginative and receptive to new experiences, making it the ideal time to explore movement, music, and creative expression.
