History
A note from Chris,
Welcome to Chris Wright's School of Dance and Drama and thank you for visiting our website.
Where it all began:
The very first class
Lots of happy memories:
I started the school in 1985 to provide an opportunity for my daughters Alison and Anna aged 2 and 3 to enjoy dancing with other children regardless of age or ability.
I had my own Contemporary Dance Group at the time and I was still performing and I wanted my children to develop their physical skills, imagination and to be free to express their ideas in movement as they learnt more about the world around them.
I have had the privilege to teach many children who have shared my passion for dance as an expressive art form, many of whom and their parents remain good friends.
The school has continued to grow and expand year after year and I now run the school with my two daughters Alison Wright and Anna Wright.
The school has been happy to support various charities and activities in the community.
We hold various displays to enable the children to share their work with each other as well as an audience.
We performed regularly at Marshside Road Home for the elderly until its closure and for Christian visitors annual parties.
In 1991 we took part in Southport Carnival and received 3rd prize for our Music Hall float, 'The Good Old Days'.
In 1996 we performed in the 'Performathon' at the Little Theatre to raise funds for the purchase of the theatre.
We performed with the Pink Floyd tribute band 'Think Floyd' for three consecutive years at Southport Theatre.
We have for many years performed at St Cuthberts Rose Queen and garden party at Meols hall and Marshside Methodist Church summer garden party.
During the Liverpool capital of Culture year - 2008, we performed in Hesketh Park with Heartbeat's David Lonsdale in 'The Passion' and provided the live entertainment for The Golf Open Championships on Lord Street. We continue to perform in the theatre every year. We have performed at the Little Theatre, The Arts centre, both in the theatre and in the Studio and in Southport's Floral Hall. Our past shows are:
In November 2009 we were invited to perform in London's West End at Her Majesty's Theatre. Take a look at our photo gallery for photos of all our latest performances.
We now offer a wide range of Dance and Drama classes where everyone is welcome from age 2½.
I look forward to seeing you at one of our classes soon
Chris Wright.
