Performing arts classes
in Solihull.
Star-Struck is a performing arts academy based in Solihull, teaching children and young people from the age of five. Twenty years in, the academy runs three connected strands under one roof: dance across seven styles, drama and acting, and vocal coaching. Most students train in two or three, and the timetable is built so they can.

Three strands, one academy
Dance is the largest strand. Freestyle, acro, street and commercial, and a combined contemporary, lyrical and jazz class each run weekly, with competition teams sitting above them by audition. Drama covers stage presence, character work and improvisation, and leads into graded examinations. Vocal coaching runs junior and senior, and feeds directly into musical theatre, where the three strands meet.
Because it is one academy rather than three separate schools, a student who starts in one place can move across without starting again. A child who joins for street dance and discovers they can sing does not need a second timetable, a second uniform or a second set of fees.

Where we teach across Solihull
The main studio is The Edge at Alderbrook School in Solihull, where the majority of evening classes run. Alongside it we run after-school clubs inside four Solihull-borough primary schools, so younger children can start without a car journey at the end of the school day.
The venue list on each class below is the real one, with directions. If you are weighing up which site is closest before you commit to anything, that is the fastest way to check.

How families usually start
Nearly everyone begins with a single taster session. There is no audition for regular classes and no requirement to have danced or acted before — the classes are built to absorb complete beginners alongside students who have trained for years, because that is the reality of every register we run.
After the taster, fees are billed by term rather than by session, and childcare vouchers and tax-free childcare are both accepted. If the first class turns out to be the wrong fit, we will suggest a different one rather than sign you up to it.

What parents usually ask.
Where in Solihull is the academy based?
Our main studio is The Edge at Alderbrook School, Blossomfield Road, Solihull B91 1SN. We also run after-school clubs inside four Solihull-borough primary schools. Every class listed on this page names its own venue with directions.What age can children start?
Five, for most classes. A few have a higher starting age because of the technique involved — drama starts at ten, for example. The age range for each class is shown against it above.Do we have to commit to a whole term straight away?
No. Almost everyone starts with a single taster session, and there is no obligation to enrol afterwards. Fees are then billed termly rather than weekly.Can one child do more than one discipline?
Yes, and most do. The timetable is deliberately arranged so that dance, drama and singing classes do not clash where they realistically could be combined.Do you accept childcare vouchers?
Yes, both childcare vouchers and tax-free childcare. Tell us which scheme you use and we will set the billing up around it.
Book a taster session.
One session, no obligation, nothing to buy first. Tell us the age and we'll suggest the class that fits.
