When you send your child to a dance school, we understand that you want to see them perform as much as possible, which is why at Debut, we put on two productions per year for parents, friends and families. Our main Summer Show takes place on the first weekend of July, followed by our Christmas Pantomime in December.

Alongside our main productions and exams, we offer students the opportunity to take part in regional competitions in ballet, tap, modern and street/hip hop as a soloist, duo or as part of our elite teams. We also work closely with casting directors and agencies which allows students to experience professional auditions and work, most recently our students have auditioned for the West-End Musicals 'Waitress', 'Matilda' and 'Mary Poppins'.

Debut Studios also holds the title of Vocational Dance School of The Year for 4 consecutive years.
