Inspired by the hit TV Series “Glee”, this Club was created to provide opportunities for kids of all ages and abilities to find new ways of expression and creativity, but most importantly, to have lots of fun too.  Combining a mix of Singing, Drama and Dance, our resident ‘Will Schuesters’, Linsey and Jill, have created a class that draws out the hidden talent in all of us.  They believe that everyone has the potential to shine, and know that as well as the techniques that are learned, those attending will see huge improvements in confidence and communication also.

The classes themselves incorporate a range of activities including vocal technique, performance skills, character development, improvisation, voice projection, choreography and much more.  The music and songs come from all era’s of the pop charts and there are plenty of anthems from musical theatre thrown in for good measure.  It’s all about a journey for the kids, both through their learning of songs from years gone by to the personal growth that they experience along the way.

You provide the talent, and we’ll provide the stage.

Coaches

The Future Stars team members who run the Glee Club are Linsey Jack and Jill Henry. They have both worked with children and young people  for many years and are committed to providing fun and educational workshops. Linsey is trained in music, singing and drama and has too many qualifications to mention. Jill has an honours degree in drama and theatre arts with a specialism in community drama. Both of the girls are very passionate about the importance of the arts in developing confidence and inter-personal skills in young people, and have been so proud of the improvements they have seen from every single child that has come to their classes.

Classes

We have a range of classes operating throughout the week in Larkhall, Uddingston and Lesmahagow.  Classes are suitable for both boys and girls aged from 4-15 years.  They cost £3.00 per hour class, or you can book a 4 week block, which is only £10.00.  If you are interested in a Glee Class, please contact the office to check availability for spaces.

Performances

The Glee Club will usually run it’s own show twice a year, with all class participants asked to perform.  As well as the annual singing concert the kids have also organised and run their own fashion show and charity night (click here for more details of this).  The group have also been asked to perform at various local events such as christmas and summer fayres, and the Scarecrow Festival in Bothwell.

Events

The Club itself organises a number of events throughout the year for all the kids, including summer and christmas parties and various theatre and concert outings.  The calendar also includes special events such as Family Nights, Talent Shows and Pamper Parties.

Recordings

As well as providing plenty of opportunities for the kids to perform on stage, we are also working closely with some local professionals to enable the Club to record some of it’s more popular tracks.  Our group from Uddingston have had the first opportunity to do this, and they all had an amazing day in the studio.  We are hoping that we can give this group, and our newer classes in Larkhall and Lesmahagow many more chances to get their tracks recorded.  Just click below to hear the efforts of our first trip to the recording studio.

Holiday Camps

While the regular classes take a break during the Summer Holidays, we offer all our classes the chance to take part in intensive creative workshops over the summer.  These combine all the elements of the weekly class but include more 1-2-1 coaching and the creation of a show at the end of the camp.  They can also include visits from creative professionals, outings, and lots of fun games.
