Part-time Training, Full Hammond Experience.
Launching in September 2024.
Starting September 2024, Hammond Extra expands The Hammond's renowned performing arts training with a brand new selection of part-time and holiday courses. These exciting additions make Hammond training more accessible than ever before.
Our inaugural Hammond Extra provision will feature courses in Acting, Musical Theatre, Classical Dance, and Dance. Each pathway provides the perfect opportunity to refine your specialised skills under the guidance of both The Hammond's industry-leading faculty and carefully selected industry professionals.
How does it work?
Each course delivers 30 hours of training spread conveniently over 10 weeks. Classes will take place on Sundays in The Hammond's cutting-edge studios. The fee for each 10-week course is a £275 (which translates to less than £10 per hour). Hammond Extra classes are available for students aged 7 to 17+ and we cater to four distinct age groups to ensure tailored training for every stage of your journey.
We are also excited to offer a diverse range of holiday courses tailored to various age groups and interests in the performing arts. Whether you're passionate about Acting, Musical Theatre, Dance, or Classical Dance, we have a programme designed to nurture your talent and creativity.
