Kirkham Henry Performing Arts, based in Malton, is hosting Showcase ’26, as part of the first Ryedale Gateway Festival.

Held at Norton College, the event will include musical theatre, jazz, tap, contemporary, ballet, and commercial dance, performed by the centre’s youth choirs and ballet company.

Director Angela Kirkham said: “Since 1989, Kirkham Henry Performing Arts has been dedicated to providing outstanding dance and performing arts training in a nurturing, inclusive environment.

“Whether your ambition is a career in the performing arts or simply to dance for the joy of it, the choice is yours. Every student receives the same exceptional tuition, expert guidance and encouragement to become the very best version of themselves.

“We are incredibly proud that ever so many of our students have progressed into professional careers in dance, musical theatre and the performing arts. They achieved their dreams because they were given the opportunity, the choice and the highest standard of training from experienced, passionate teachers.

At Kirkham Henry, success isn’t measured only by the professional stage. It’s measured by confidence gained, friendships made, skills developed and a lifelong love of dance.

“We welcome Tiny Tots, children, teenagers and adults of all abilities. Whether you’re taking your very first dance class or working towards professional aspirations, there’s a place for you at Kirkham Henry.

“Come along to Showcase ‘26 and see for yourself.”
