One Sunday a month he plans to deliver a schedule specifically for students aged 14 to 18 who are looking to train professionally as dancers or/and musical theatre performers.

The day will run from 11am to 5pm and will not only consist of a variety of technical dance classes and ensemble singing lessons, but will also cover other skills used in the industry.

Jason says: “I am very excited about sharing the knowledge I have acquired over the last 15 years in the job, with young people that are hoping to audition for vocational schools and colleges.

“The course will be intense and of a very high standard, although we will still have lots of fun.”

Assisted by friends and colleagues also currently working in the arts Jason will be scheduling a programme of 10 sessions starting in September running through to June 2024.

Auditions for the programme will take place in July and will be in the form of a full day workshop held at the Tu Danse Studios in Newark Road, Peterborough.
