We live in an increasingly global community, where understanding different cultures, building confidence, and communicating creatively are essential skills for young people stepping into the future world of work and living contented lives.
However, these are not always skills that come naturally. Whether it’s the influence of social media, the lasting effects of lockdowns, or the growing pressures young people face to fit in rather than stand out, many struggle to express themselves authentically and confidently. That’s where Razzamataz Theatre Schools steps in, using the power of performing arts to help children and young people discover their voice, celebrate their individuality, and connect with others across cultures and communities.
Performing arts plays a vital role in developing abilities that help students connect, collaborate, and express themselves beyond borders. This is why Razzamataz offers global experiences such as performing at Disneyland Paris, educational enrichment trips to New York and Dubai, and international partnerships that allow students to see how their passion can open doors all around the world. These experiences help to inspire ambition, broaden horizons, and show students that creativity can truly take them anywhere as was expressed by student Corey from Razzamataz Weymouth.
“The Dubai trip was truly inspiring and has opened up opportunities we never thought possible. We’ve gained so much insight into the local culture, and the performance opportunity was absolutely incredible. It’s an experience that has broadened our horizon in ways we hadn’t imagined.”
As well as developing a global experience for students, Razzamataz is very proud to be expanding internationally for the first time, with new schools launching in the Republic of Ireland and Dubai. This marks an exciting new era for the award-winning brand as it continues to bring performing arts to more children and create exciting business opportunities for entrepreneurs in the arts space.
As Razzamataz celebrates 25 incredible years of inspiring confidence and creativity through the performing arts, the award-winning network is stepping into 2026 with a renewed focus on global connection, wellbeing, and growth.
These are all elements that will help kickstart 2026 off to an incredible start with The Great Escape…., a three-day immersive conference at the stunning North Lakes Hotel in Cumbria. Designed exclusively for Razzamataz Principals and managers, the Conference will not only provide a reset and an opportunity to pause, reflect, and re-energise but will also feature leaders in business, giving franchisees the tools to continue to build their schools and communities.
“The world is more connected than ever, and our young people need the confidence and communication skills to thrive in it,” says Denise Gosney, MD and Founder of Razzamataz. “We don’t know what the job market will look like in the next few years, so all we can do is help our young people build resilience to cope with change. As we expand internationally into the Republic of Ireland and Dubai, we want to bring the same sense of opportunity, creativity, and community to these children to give them the best start in life.”
With the brand continuing to grow and innovate, franchise owners benefit from shared creativity and collaboration across borders. By building international connections, Razzamataz is not only sharing ideas and inspiration with schools overseas but also bringing new perspectives and opportunities back to the UK, ensuring every Principal, teacher, and student continues to evolve and thrive as part of a truly global community.
Furthermore, ensuring Razzamataz continues to evolve with the times and embrace innovation, we’re making a significant investment in artificial intelligence through the creation of our new AI and Tech Steering Beta Group. This initiative will explore how emerging technologies can enhance the way we support our franchisees, helping them grow their schools efficiently, streamline operations, and continue providing exceptional opportunities for young people.
Importantly, this advancement will complement, not replace, the personal touch, creativity, and community spirit that make Razzamataz so special. By combining technology with our people-first approach, we’ll ensure every franchisee and student benefits from the very best of both worlds in 2026 and beyond.
The Razzamataz franchise model continues to attract entrepreneurs from all walks of life, parents seeking flexibility, performers pursuing a new chapter, and teachers ready to use their skills to build a career on their own terms. With world-class training, creative resources, and the strength of a passionate community worldwide, franchisees are supported every step of the way.
