What a way to end the year! Our 2025 production of Alice in Wonderland was nothing short of spectacular. From the vibrant costumes to the incredible talent showcased on the Rickmansworth School stage, we couldn’t be prouder of every single student who took part.
But as the curtain falls on Wonderland, a new one rises on a brand-new year of opportunity.
The “Panto Glow”: Why We Love Performance
There is a unique kind of confidence that comes from performing in a professional-style production. We’ve seen students transform from shy beginners into bold performers over the last few months. That “Panto Glow” isn’t just about the applause; it’s about the resilience, teamwork, and creativity learned behind the scenes.
As we head into the new term, our goal is to take that stage-ready confidence and apply it to everything we do in the studio.
New Year, New Goals: What’s Your Milestone?
January is the perfect time to reset and aim higher. At Rise Studios, we believe every student’s journey is unique. Whether you are a dancer, an actor, or a singer, what is your “one thing” for 2026?
Here are a few milestones we’re excited to help our students achieve this year:
- Technical Excellence: Mastering that elusive pirouette or hitting a new vocal range.
- Building Connections: Welcoming new faces into our Rise family and fostering lifelong friendships.
- Personal Growth: Using drama and dance to build the self-esteem needed for school, social life, and beyond.
Join the Journey
If you watched our Panto and thought, “I wish I could do that,”, this is your sign! 2026 is the year to stop watching from the wings and start taking center stage. We offer classes for all ages and abilities in Rickmansworth, from ballet, tap to street dance and musical theatre.
Let’s make 2026 a year of growth, rhythm and applause
