The Razzamataz Theatre Schools Franchise
Looking for a business opportunity where you get to work in an inspiring and thriving sector? Choose your own hours and be your own boss but receive all the support and training you need to run your own part-time theatre school.
Razzamataz Theatre School was created in 2000 to make performing arts available to children and young people to offer the current trends in both musical theatre and the commercial genre.
Razzamataz offers exceptional training in dance, drama and singing together with exciting opportunities to perform as well as welcoming guest workshops with industry experts such as Ashley Banjo from Diversity. The classes cover everything from traditional West End and Broadway musicals through to street dance, pop singing and acting for camera.
The classes are open to all children from the ages of 2 to 18. The Razzamataz ethos of creating an environment where every student should have the opportunity to be energetic, gain confidence and make friends whilst having lots of fun is evident in all the schools across the UK.
There are almost 50 Razzamataz schools creating not only a place that positively impacts young people’s lives but also interesting and rewarding careers for the franchisees who become the schools’ Principals.
A huge part of the network’s success is down to the highly tuned operating systems that have been refined and developed over the last 17 years of business. Razzamataz works with experts in the fields of PR & Marketing, Social Media, Child Protection and many more.
