We have had a fantastic two weeks at our Bedazzle Pop School summer workshops, as part of our Community Theatre program. Held for 5 days in Cambridge and then 5 days in Huntingdon, we had a total of 39 participants across the sessions.
Our stars enjoyed a range of music industry activities, including professionally recording a CD, filming a music video, learning DJ skills, creating band merchandise and giving a spectacular live performance. As well as having fun and exploring their own creativity, each participant was able to work on valuable skills such as communication, team work, negotiation and flexibility.
Quoted as “excellent”, “awesome” and “fabulous”, we asked our pop star cohort about what they thought of their Pop School experience:
"It's been a good experience, building confidence, kinda coming out of my comfort zone"
“It's been great, we've had fun rehearsals and I've enjoyed doing our song”
“Pop School's good. I liked doing the DJ workshop and the dancing was good”
“[My favourite part has been] making new friends”
