⭐️5 DAYS TO GO⭐️
The countdown is officially on… just 5 days until we open the doors to our brand-new Spirit Academy of Dance home! 💙

We are still a little way off perfect and have a long list of things to do but we’re getting there!

Come and have a look around, meet the team, explore our new studios and see what Spirit’s next chapter is all about. Our on-site café Bella & Bear will also be open from 10am. ☕️

We want to hear from you!
We want to make Spirit the best place possible for your child to nurture and grow as both performers and people!
Please spare 2 minutes of your time to fill out this completely anonymous survey and help us make the changes that need to be made to turn Spirit into that!🩵

Help Shape the Future of Spirit Academy As we prepare to move into our brand-new studio, we want to make Spirit Academy the best it can possibly be. We've had a number of students leave over the past year for various reasons, and rather than guessing why, we'd genuinely like to hear from you. Whethe...

Having an evening of admin and typing up some important documents when I realised that as a teacher, one of the greatest achievements is watching your students succeed in opportunities and grow into confident young people.
Whether that’s overcoming a fear, achieving something they’ve worked incredibly hard for, doing well in school or simply just believing in their own confidence and ability for the first time is the most rewarding feeling🩵
Knowing that even a small part of their journey has been spent with us something that we’ll never take for granted🩵⭐️

This month, LTH & Little Wolf Entertainment are once again looking for local young performers to join the junior ensemble for our award-winning Loughborough Town Hall pantomime.

This year's production of Dick Whittington is set to be truly epic and the kids always have loads of fun helping to bring the magic of panto alive!

Our incredibly popular auditions are held as a workshop, so there is nothing to prepare - just come along ready to dance, and have lots of fun! Please remember to dress sensibly, with clothes and shoes you can move in.

To find out loads more information about what it's like taking part in our pantomime, as well as some handy auditioning tips, but most importantly to register yourself for a space, please visit www.littlewolf.co.uk

We are always amazed at the level of talented kids we find in Loughborough, and we are sure this year will be no different. Acting/singing/dance ability is required but previous theatre experience is not essential, so if you think you have the X factor, come along and have a go. Our friendly and experienced team will be there to ensure you have a great time!
