CHILDREN CLAMOURING TO GO TO ‘BOOT CAMP’!
 |
That’s not a headline you see everyday but it is true! Following the success of the first ‘CONFIDANCE’ boot camp weekend a couple of weeks back there is already a waiting list for the next one. You may ask what would make children want to take part in a regime of exercise at 7 a.m., washing up after eating ‘healthy’ meals and regular ‘dorm inspections’, well I can tell you the secret…. Sara Perry! Sara has been running ‘CONFIDANCE’, dance / theatrical training classes for children for three years now and with her mixture of personal professional talent, loving discipline and ‘fun’ motivational techniques she has gained the respect of all the children under her guidance. After just a few weeks of her classes, shy, awkward children start to blossom into competent performers on stage in front of an audience and some find hidden talent beyond their own belief! |

| I was privileged to go to the Boot
Camp as a singing tutor and witnessed myself the hard work and dedication
Sara puts into her pupils. The whole weekend was packed with a full
timetable of activities. The twenty children aged from 10 to 15 years of age
who attended worked very hard and had lots of opportunity for creativity in
group projects presenting their own drama sketches and personal versions of
popular songs. I was amazed at the talent shown from everybody. As already
said, they also had to adhere to ‘house rules’ which meant doing chores and
keeping their stuff tidy which they all did , without moaning, in fact they
appeared to enjoy the discipline (which was a great leveller) and judging by
the eagerness to attend another Boot Camp it was appreciated. Mary Bowles |
