Welcome to LightsDown Ludlow - a growing school!

LightsDown Ludlow first launched weekly classes over 2 years ago. Since January 2008 we have grown to be a full school, offering 3 classes to cater for students aged 4 right up to 18.

What a busy year we've had with over 10 productions! Some highlights have included our last summer school productions of "Fame" and "The Lemonade Kid"! Well done to all involved! We've also produced "Guys and Dolls", "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and a film version of "Romeo and Juliet". We have a fantastic school in Ludlow and recently performed to 300 people in our Spring production of "Seussical" (Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears a Who) at the Ludlow Assembly Rooms.

If you are interested in enrolling your child then we would be happy to show you around - please email us to book a trial session.

***BREAKING NEWS: LIGHTSDOWN LAUNCHES ITS FIRST DANCE TROUPE!!!***

LightsDown Theatre School Hereford

A BIG class for imaginative performers!

Students aged from 4 – 8 are in Downstage. They have an hour each week to work with a fun and creative teacher who introduces them to a whole variety of acting, singing and dance activities. They experiment with new characters, role-play and learn songs and dances to show off to their parents at our regular demonstrations.

Main Academy 8+

Main school students are grouped into two classes: Centrestage (ages 8 – 11) and Upstage (ages 12 – 16). All of these students spend 3 hours with us each week and enjoy an hour of each discipline (Acting, Singing and Dance). Unlike Downstage they have a separate, specialist tutor for each class and work towards full-scale productions during the year. The students also have the opportunity to gain qualifications with Trinity/Guildhall. See ‘Get Qualified’ for more details.

Individual Singing (Trinity/Guildhall), Dance (ISTD) and Drama (LAMDA) lessons are also available at LTS Ludlow.

Dance classes in Herefordshire

What's in a name?

At LightsDown you pay for the training, not the name. We are an independent theatre school run by three professional performers who really care for our students. We have experience in all aspects of Performing Arts and are still active performers. LightsDown has a first-class child protection policy and is committed to the safe-guarding of our students. We are proud to be the only school in Herefordshire that is recognised by the Council for Dance Education and Training.

CDET Recognised School

Join us in September 2010!

Our school has a warm and supportive atmosphere. The majority of our students do not wish to become a performer when they are older; we are all about helping young people develop their skills in an area that they love but also offer professional training to prepare those who do wish to train professionally as an actor, singer or dancer. We have a waiting list for September but if you're quick then we can probably offer you a place!

Ludlow Class Times

There are three, ten week terms in each year. We are based at Orleton Village Hall, just outside Ludlow and Leominster.
