The Company Performing Arts CLACTON

Amazingly talented dance company who strive to bring out the best in every single child they have in their school. Many opportunities with lovely skilled teachers who are dedicated to their students and always have their best interest st heart. The Company is run by Aaron Lissimore and his very skilled experienced team. Aaron has many years experience working with children and adults alike and is very skilled and qualified in many aspects of dance. Having worked in the West End, Thursford and many other groups around the country he has now joined with the West Cliff Theatre producing their last Two Summer and Christmas shows as well as his own Two Youth sell out productions of Peter Pan and Aladdin. If you would like your children to learn the skills of dance join this wonderful Company where they will get many opportunities to shine on and off the stage. A warm loving dance group who I love working and stage Managing for as every child is always beaming with self pride and excitement with every performance on and off the stage.

My daughter is now 10 and has attended the Company since the age of 4, she has learnt so much during her time there and grown in confidence. She has had amazing opportunities to take part in exams, shows, pantomimes, dance conventions, and competitions. The school offer lots of genres of dance all of which she enjoys. The teachers are all highly experienced, professional and supportive. Myself and my daughter would highly recommend the company performing arts.

My Daughter has attended dance classes from the age of 2. She is now 17 & has never felt the need to look any further than this studio for her dance training.The ability to gain the respect of not only the 5 year old students but also that of the teenagers & young adults that are taught here can only come from making each and every lesson fun & enjoyable but equally each child knows that with the technical excellence of the dance teachers they will be able to excell in their ability to perform in each exam or showcase to their very best.The Company Performing arts is like a second family to my Daughter & she has been very lucky to have seen many amazing students come through this fantastic school who are now performing in the West End or on cruises etc & who are now enjoying successful careers & the rewards that have come from the hard work, discipline & dedication that was encouraged at the Company by Principle Aaron Lissimore & his team.She has been given some wonderful memories from opportunities that the Company has offered her like dancing at the Palladium & the Royal Albert Hall as examples.Ive been a gymnastic coach for 35 years & often see the difference of what good coaching can do to a gymnast but I’ve also seen the other side of what poor practices in coaching can bring & equally I understand that not every child is capable of becoming an Olympic champion even with the very best coaching.In the same way I understand that not every dancer is capable of becoming a prima ballerina but the Company nurtures your child as an individual so each child ends up dancing to the best of “their ability” and this as a parent is all I could ask for.

My daughter Caitlin has been attending since lockdown and her improvement in her dancing has been incredible. All her teachers are very supportive and their teaching is to the highest of standards. The shows are amazing and Caitlin has made some lovely friends.

Absolutely amazing place done so much for or little one would recommend to all who wants to take there kids dance

During the time my son has spent at The Company he has developed both technically and in confidence. The family feel paired with outstanding teaching and fantastic opportunities means he is well on his way to a promising dance career!!

I attended The Company between the ages of 14-18 and it ticked all the boxes I was looking for. I learnt so much from all the teachers at The Company, without the knowledge I learnt and skills I developed at The Company I wouldn't have attended a leading Dance college in London for my vocational training after Sixth From College. I am glad I am happily still doing what I love, and performing professionally now aged 24, numerous years after my memorable time at The Company.

Without a doubt this is the best dance School I have ever been involved in. This is coming from a Mum who once trained as a professional dancer and has lived around the country, hense experience numerous dance schools and collages in my lifetime. The Company is home to the most professional and talented bunch of teachers who have nothing but the best welfare of our Children in mind. The choreography is some of the best I've experirienced and I feel very lucky that I can send my own children here, to learn the fundamental foundation in dance and performing arts. The students get so much opportunity to perform on stage all year round, they use the best recognised exam boards known in the industry and the lessons take place in specially build dance studios. The Company produce talented dancers with fabulous technique but in a fun environment... I couldn't ask for anymore from a dance School! Thank you for giving our children such an amazing opportunity!

The best decision I ever made was to join The Company- not only have I progressed so much as a performer, I have become part of the best family of people I could possibly hope for! The Company will always be home to me!
