Musical Theatre Classes for Kids
Owned by Shelley Meskin, professional actor/dancer and singer, Cabaret Kids aim is to create a happy, safe, creative environment where we can expose children to a world of imagination through song, dance and drama while learning life skills.
How Does Musical Theatre help my child?
It is important to believe in yourself. It is important to trust your voice not to shake when you need it to be strong. It is important to walk into a room of intimidating people and be able to stand your ground politely. It is important to make eye contact. It is important to be empathetic. It is important to be able to read others body language. And it is so important to be creative.

What Do We Learn at Cabaret Kids?
We expose children to the art of singing, dancing and acting all at the same time, the importance of clarity of speech and story-telling, how to warm up their body and voice and how to stay calm and focused.
We concentrate on how to show emotion not only in the face, or feel them inside, but also how to physicalise these emotions in our bodies.
We exercise our memories through poetry and memory games and now and then we work with percussion instruments to learn to understand rhythm and tone.
We learn the all-important art of breathing. Breathing to stay calm, breathing to energise ourselves, breathing to project our voices… I am big on breathing!
Cabaret Kids Parties
You choose a theme, we'll bring the music. Add some action and voila, you have your own personal birthday show! You get to show the adults how it's done at the end, at your own venue.

Write a ReviewI cannot recommend Cabaret kids highly enough. A friend recommended it for us, and our child has grown so much from the experience. Her confidence has absolutely soared and she changed from a child who would hide behind me to a child who performed on stage. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I consider this an essential extra mural activity for every child!

Cabaret-Kids has developed a passion for singing, and acting that truly has transformed my daughter. Since being part of this community she has participated in numerous showcases and on different stages, allowing her confidence to grow, and her love for singing and performing in such nurturing environment has been incredibly positive. There's no pressure, only much encouragement and support. For a neurodiverse teenager there's space to be yourself, and shine while doing so!

Cab Kids is so much more than a musical theatre school—it’s a transformative experience. It brought our quiet, shy boy out of his shell and introduced him to a whole new world, one filled with confidence and pride.
What makes Cab Kids truly special is their focus on core life skills. It’s not just about being brilliant or talented on stage; it’s about gaining confidence, resilience, and self-expression. They also teach the importance of working as a team and showing up for your team—values that help kids thrive both on stage and in everyday life.
The environment is both nurturing and fun, where kids feel supported while having the time of their lives. Every child should have the chance to experience something like this. Cab Kids is an incredible program, and we couldn’t recommend it more!

My little girl attended Cabaret Kids from 4 years old. She absolutely grew and blossomed and loved every second. This excellent foundation helped her get a role in The Sound of Music at MonteCasino as well as win the main part in her school production. Thank you Shelley!
