Popular Destinations For Performing Arts trips

Where can we go?

It depends on your budget and objectives, but we can organise a performing arts school trip in the UK or abroad!

London is home to one of the world’s premier theatre districts, the West End. Here, you can enjoy a West End show before learning from some of the world’s best choreographers by taking part in a workshop at the world-famous Pineapple Dance Studios. Plus, you can enjoy some incredible behind-the-scenes tours of some of London’s most famous theatres!

If you want to go further afield, we can arrange unforgettable experiences, including performing at the heart of Disneyland® Paris, Broadway workshops in New York, tours of film studios in Los Angeles, and visits to iconic recording studios in Nashville and Memphis.

Visit New York, home of Broadway, to learn more about the American theatre scene. As well as taking part in a workshop led by Broadway professionals, we can also arrange for you to catch a show.

Why arrange a performing arts school trip?

See the professionals at work

Regardless of where you choose to go, your itinerary will be packed full of opportunities for your students to see the professionals of the performing arts industry at work.

Whether it’s a West End or Broadway Show, a TV programme recording in New York or a behind-the-scenes tour of a recording studio in Nashville, your students will love this chance to see what life in the performing arts industry is really like.

And the professionals will always be very happy to speak to your students about their roles and responsibilities, as well as answer any questions they may have.

Your students will also have plenty of opportunity to learn directly from the professionals. In London, your students can learn more about dance and choreography at a Pineapple Dance Studios workshop.

And in New York, a Broadway workshop can concentrate on on-stage skills such as stage combat and singing, as well as backstage processes such as stage makeup and costume design. You could even enjoy a workshop focusing on the audition process.

And a film workshop at a film academy in the city will see your students learn all about the filmmaking process, from screenwriting to directing, editing and producing.

Explore future opportunities

The variety of experiences available means that there are plenty of opportunities for them to learn more about the various roles within the performing arts industry, showing them that they’re not just restricted to being a performer, there are endless other roles that they could consider, from screenwriters to casting directors, sound and lighting engineers and costume designers.

Our Travel Advisers know our destinations well, so if you need any further information or advice to help you choose the destination or activities that will be best suited to your group, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
