Moving Moments

No rivalry. No competition. Just schools coming together to celebrate young talent, forming the cast of Take the Stage for ‘One Night Only’. Nothing compares to witnessing your students on stage with professional lighting, crystal-clear sound, and the sheer scale of a TTS production in motion. Our 2026 promo video showcases why we offer the most inclusive and supportive performance opportunities for dance schools in the country.

Past Performances

Margaret Cave

White Court Dance
“I have been involved with Take the Stage for several years. It is a fun way of giving our pupils the experience of performing on a big stage with proper lights and acoustics. The team are experienced and go out of their way to make every member of the cast feel important and have a great day. From the very first time you, as the principal, enrol your school in the show, right up until the last child is collected after the performance you are kept informed and feel involved. The organisation is great, both on the lead up to the show, during the rehearsals and of course the big day itself.. There is a marked difference between Take the Stage and some other organisations. You get a rehearsal time on the stage, a member of the team comes to your school to teach the children the finale routine, each performer gets a t shirt (which is almost part of the uniform at our school!), the tickets are affordable and the pupils have fun!! From a teacher’s point of view, to be able to take your pupils perform at The Cliffs is a dream. As long as you have the appropriate number of chaperones you don’t have to worry about all the licences, the cost of hiring the venue and budgeting. We hope Amy and her team will continue with Take the Stage for many years to come.”

Lucy Stean

Principal at LMA Studios
“As a dancer studio owner, I think it is so important to offer safe performing spaces which nurture dancers whilst building confidence, which is everything that TTS stands for. They not only guide our dancers through the whole day, but teachers and chaperones too. The environment feels so positive that I without a doubt cry every single year (happy tears of course), just through how lucky I feel to have found TTS. There are never any questions left unanswered, no turning up wondering what will happen and never being left alone throughout any of the process. Dance is so magical and brings people together, TTS have captured that and made a show from it. I am yet to find anyone who does events the way TTS do!”

Performer Led

Founded by Amy Burrows – a performer who truly knows the motivation, drive and passion required to succeed in the industry – we are more than just organisers. We ensure every detail of your booking and TTS experience is handled with expertise, genuine care and a personal touch.
