DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WEK: CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE (DARTFORD) & WEST END KIDS TROUPE & WEK: TRAINING PROGRAMS (LONDON)
The WEK: Centre of Excellence provides training & classes in the same way that a dance or drama school would. The West End Kids Troupe and associated WEK: Training program is a nationwide program which provides "on the job" training and performance opportunities.
The WEK: Centre of Excellence (Dartford) requires a commitment of 1 training day per month. The London based West End Kids Troupe and WEK: Training programs are weekly commitments in Central London.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Designed to contrast and compliment the existing West End Kids Troupe and WEK: Training Programs in Central London, the WEK: Centre of Excellence is a Sunday program designed for performers aged 9-18 looking to "top-up" their existing training/classes.
You may currently attend a dance/theatre school or youth theatre Company but want to extend that training and be pushed harder to reach your full potential by a dedicated and specialist team with a well established track record and reputation for bringing out and stimulating talent where it exists.
It is in this area that West End Kids has developed its enviable reputation nationwide over the last 20 years and now, for the first time ever, we are opening it out to Kent / Essex!
