ABOUT STARS
Our teachers
Why Stars?
Emma set up Gems Performing Arts in 2011, by 2016 Gems had gone from strength to strength with its highly established
Saturday school, hugely popular Holiday Clubs, as well as birthday parties, workshops and more. This led to the creation of Stars, which focuses on running school clubs, as well as Holiday Clubs and Thursday Theatre Company in South West London. The two companies continue to work very closely together, and combined they now successfully run After School and Lunch time Clubs in over 15 schools around London.​
