Before you join us
A few things
you might want to know.
Practical guidance for performers and parents. Your individual workshop listing is the place to check session-specific details.
Do I need professional experience?
Not for every workshop. Youth sessions are designed to be welcoming, and young performers do not need to be at an elite level to take part in appropriate sessions. Advanced/Pro sessions have a different focus. Check each listing for suitability.
Can I attend if I already train at a dance or drama school?
Yes. W2W is designed to complement your existing training, giving you access to specialist workshops and different industry perspectives.
What ages do you cater for?
Our main audiences are ages 8–12, ages 13–17 and Advanced/Professional performers. Some sessions combine age groups. The individual listing confirms who can attend.
Are Advanced/Pro sessions for adults and professionals?
These sessions can be appropriate for performers in professional training, graduates and working performers. Check each workshop’s experience guidance rather than assuming every session has the same requirements.
What should I wear?
Choose clothing suitable for the activity. Dance, singing and screen workshops can have different requirements, so check your session information or ask John-Paul before attending.
Do I need to prepare anything?
Preparation varies by workshop. Follow the individual listing and joining information. The Vocal Room requires no preparation unless a particular session says otherwise.
Where are workshops held?
W2W uses different spaces across Wirral and Liverpool, including GirlCode Gym in Wallasey and Arts Bar Studios on Hope Street. Your event listing confirms the exact venue and studio.
Can parents stay?
Arrangements depend on the session and venue. Contact John-Paul before booking if you need to discuss staying, drop-off or any support your child may need.
What happens if I cannot attend?
Please check the booking terms provided for your session before paying. If your plans change, contact John-Paul promptly to discuss your booking.
How do I hear about new workshops?
Follow @wirraltowestend on Instagram or join the WhatsApp Community for workshop news, reminders and occasional early announcements.
