Razzamataz Theatre Schools West Cumbria

When young people are given the chance to explore a world beyond their imagination, incredible things can happen. Razzamataz Theatre Schools is taking this belief to new heights with their latest trip to Dubai, where students will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase their performing arts skills in front of a global audience of educators as well as visiting this awe-inspiring city.

Final preparations are being made, rehearsals have been completed and bags are being packed for this exciting trip taking place on Sunday 10^th November. This extraordinary experience will allow the students to unleash their limitless potential, inspiring confidence and creativity as they join the Razzamataz Head Office team at GESS Dubai, following an invitation from the UK Trade Mission.

As well as performing, the students will share how participation in performing arts has had a profound effect on their academic education as well as their lives, empowering them to explore their creativity, gain confidence and develop essential life skills that will serve them well in their futures.

The students will be supported by the wider Razzamataz team who have been invited to join the expert panel of speakers at the Leaders in Education Conference, sharing their 25 years’ experience working with young people to foster self-reflection and critical thinking and share what strategies have been successful in the UK. The Conference is focused on how to ‘Combine, Connect and Create’ and Razzamataz embodies this ethos by combining the power of performance and education, connecting young people with opportunities that ignite their passions, and creating an environment where confidence and creativity can thrive on both a local and global scale.

While at GESS, Razzamataz have been invited to speak on ‘The importance of performing arts education in schools today’ and ‘The art of resilience: how performing arts foster emotional and social growth in young people.’

“We are absolutely thrilled to offer our students this amazing opportunity in Dubai,” says Denise Gosney, MD and Founder of Razzamataz. “The performing arts are a powerful vehicle for personal growth, helping young people discover their strengths, build resilience, and develop a sense of belonging. This experience will be truly transformative for them, allowing them to perform on a global stage while also enjoying the many cultural and fun experiences that Dubai has to offer.”

The exciting trip will also take in the very best of Dubai with students visiting some of Dubai’s most famous landmarks including a visit to At The Top Burj Khalifa on the 124th level, exploring the future at the Museum of the Future, providing a platform for learning about cutting-edge technologies, scientific advancements, and emerging trends. They will discover the rich history and heritage of Old Dubai, enjoy a Dhow Cruise at Deira Creek, take a magical visit to the magnificent Dubai Opera House, visit the World’s Largest Suspended Aquarium and take a trip of a lifetime by journeying into the vast desert landscape with the exhilarating desert package, including the thrill of Dune Bashing.

Razzamataz are predominately visiting Dubai as part of their international expansion plans, looking for a single unit or area developer particularly for Dubai & Abu Dhabi to partner with and bring the multi-award winning brand to the UAE and to bring their knowledge and expertise to young people worldwide to give them lifelong skills and unlock their potential. Dubai and the UAE are dynamic, forward-thinking regions that value education, the arts and personal development, an ethos that is aligned with Razzamataz’s ten year vision and beyond.

As part of its incredible 25^th anniversary celebrations, Razzamataz Theatre Schools is delighted to announce two sold out trips to Disneyland Paris, where 600 students will perform to a global audience in the iconic Disney parade.

This trip is especially significant, as the first Disneyland Paris experience in 2017 was a massive success, and another was planned for 2020. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the 2020 trip had to be cancelled, making the 2025 return even more anticipated.

Initially just one trip was planned but with it selling out almost immediately, Head Office worked to ensure franchisees and students wouldn’t be disappointed and quickly organised a second trip, which also sold out in record time.

The cast in each school has just been announced and rehearsals are now in full swing, with students learning new choreography and preparing to showcase their talents on an international stage.

The extended wait has only fuelled the excitement, with parents sharing heartwarming videos and testimonials of their children’s reactions upon discovering they would be performing at Disneyland Paris.

“Disney holds a special place in everyone’s hearts, but to actually take part in the magic as a performer is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” says Denise Gosney, MD and Founder of Razzamataz. “It’s something that will create memories they’ll cherish forever and it really is a dream come true for many of our students and their families. We have been waiting a long time to return and we can’t wait to share this experience with our Principals, teachers, students and families.”

Razzamataz prides itself on not just exceptional performing arts training, but also incredible experiences that empower young people to unlock their limitless potential. By exposing them to exciting opportunities beyond their everyday routines, we help them see the world in a new light.

What makes this trip even more exciting is that children from as young as eight are allowed to attend, sowing the seeds of exciting possibilities from a very young age as Denise explains: “We always strive to offer exciting opportunities for all of our students, and it’s wonderful to see the younger ones so enthusiastic about taking part in something this special. It’s an experience that will inspire them and build their confidence in ways that will last a lifetime.”

Over the past 25 years, Razzamataz has been at the forefront of performing arts education. In the last few years, the team has been championing a growing emphasis on personal development alongside exceptional training in dance, drama, and singing. Performing arts is hugely important in nurturing confidence, creativity, and resilience in children and young people, giving them the skills they need to excel not only on stage but in all areas of life, preparing them to thrive in whatever future paths they choose to follow.

Razzamataz Theatre Schools’ Disneyland Paris trip promises to be an extraordinary highlight of 2025, made even more special for the franchisees in the network who will be celebrating the special anniversary with a memorable meal at The Eiffel Tower in Paris. This is where they will have the chance to collectively reflect on their achievements and look forward to the exciting ways they can continue to support the young people in their community through the incredible life lessons gained through participation in performing arts.

Starting a business comes with its share of challenges—balancing finances, finding the right support, and navigating the complexities of day-to-day operations. For mums, these hurdles can feel even higher when trying to juggle the demands of family life alongside entrepreneurship.

That’s why two ambitious mums have chosen to begin their entrepreneurial journey with Razzamataz Theatre Schools. Offering a flexible business model and comprehensive support, Razzamataz is helping them realise their dreams. Their journey began with an in-depth training week, equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed while balancing both business and family.

Gemma Da Silveira is the new franchisee of Razzamataz Liverpool South and mum to three daughters. She is currently Head of People & Culture for a finance company having worked in HR for the past 12 years. However, Gemma has wanted to run a children’s theatre school for many years and is delighted that she is going back to her passion and putting her performing arts degree to good use.

“I’ve wanted to do this for so long but it was the combination of my best friend suffering with cancer last year and my impending 40th birthday which made me realise life is short so why not now,” says Gemma. “Razzamataz has a really warm family feel, the people are great and I love that there is a focus on building children’s confidence, which is very important to me.”

Like many Razzamataz franchisees, Gemma entered the role without prior business experience. However, the training is designed to be comprehensive, ensuring that everyone can succeed. The training, systems and support covers all aspects of the franchise, from daily operations to marketing and customer engagement. The sessions include a step-by-step guide to managing finances, building a customer base, and maintaining high teaching standards amongst many other things. Regular one-on-one mentoring, and access to a network of successful franchisees offer additional resources to help grow the business and provide a reassuring network of friendly and helpful colleagues.

“The amount of structure and support that Razzamataz offers has reassured me that I have joined the right business who will support me to be successful,” adds Gemma. “I’m also looking forward to bringing my own unique touch to the school and although I may be nearly 40, my three daughters keep me up to date with all the current trends so the school will be brimming with energy and fun.”

Witnessing the profound impact that participation in performing arts had on her own daughters was the catalyst that led Helen Kozak to find out about becoming the new owner of Razzamataz Manchester South. But it was the agreement from her daughter Liza that she would be a co-owner alongside her mum, which sealed the deal.

“Razzamataz appeared as a fun and meaningful business and from the very first conversation with the Founder Denise and the Head Office team, we got a feeling of one big family,” says Helen. “The training is very thorough and well structured. We feel like we are guided step by step and it’s also very reassuring to know that even after the training, we can still always get support if needed.”

The training is as hands on as possible and includes a visit to another Razzamataz school to meet the Principal and see everything in action which was hugely motivating for Helen and Liza as Helen explains: “We gained more confidence to run our school after visiting another Razzamataz school during training. This motivated us to reflect on how our current classes run and the areas in which we can improve. It also was inspiring to see the potential growth our school could achieve.”

Many within the Razzamataz network have gone on to become multiple territory owners, running several schools and classes as well as all the additional opportunities that the franchise provides including performance opportunities in London’s West End and educational enrichment trips to Paris, New York and Dubai.

“I’m thrilled to welcome new franchisees into the Razzamataz network and it’s an exciting time to be joining us as we approach our 25^th anniversary, which we shall be celebrating in Paris,” says Denise Gosney, MD and Founder of Razzamataz. “As a mum myself, what I love is that we can offer parents a flexible and financially rewarding career path, allowing them to achieve success while still being present for their families. With our proven model, extensive training, and ongoing mentorship, we make sure every new franchisee feels ready to inspire the next generation of young performers to grow in confidence and life skills.”
