Format
The school runs on Saturdays and Fridays teaching one hour of singing, one hour of dancing and one hour of drama. Students are divided into different groups, based mainly on age and sometimes ability. These groups are Minis (4-5), Juniors (6-8), Inters (9-11) and Seniors (12-18). Some smaller schools only consist of Juniors, Inters and Seniors. They also run week-long summer schools.
Dragon's Den
In 2007, Denise Hutton-Gosney took Razzamataz to the BBC business programme, Dragons' Den. Her pitch won over investor Duncan Bannatyne who helped to launch the company all over the UK and abroad.
