Razzamataz brings back the boys

It may have hidden quietly in the shadows for a few years but now thanks to successful acts such as George Sampson, Diversity and Flawless, street dance is firmly back in the limelight.
“For a long time dance has been seen as the back-up to other performing arts and not really given the credit it deserves,” said Denise Hutton-Gosney, Director of Razzamataz Theatre Schools. Another added benefit to the rise in popularity of street dance is that it attracts many more boys to theatre schools. There is no doubt that acts such as Diversity being given such a high profile on shows like Britain’s Got Talent has made boys realise that dance is cool and something fun to be involved with.
In all aspects of the performing arts, Razzamataz makes sure that it reflects the current trends that are accessible to children and teenagers as Hutton-Gosney explained: “As soon as students find out we are going to be teaching them pop, R&B and commercial dance, they realise it is pretty cool to be able to do some of the stuff that they watch artists performing on TV.”
As one of the fastest growing theatre schools in the UK, Razzamataz is dedicated to making performance training accessible to young people all over the country. The school gained national prominence when Director Denise Hutton-Gosney, appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007 and multi-millionaire businessman Duncan Bannatyne invested in the schools.
