Amazing Opportunities
Fi Steps started in 1991 to create opportunities for youngsters to perform from a safe and fun environment and was established with just 16 members. As a school we have also made over an astounding 50 West End performances since 1998, performing at theatres such as Her Majesty’s, The Royal Albert Hall, Theatre Royal in Drury Lane and of course The London Palladium. Fi Steps are also very active locally with countless performances at both The Capitol, Horsham and here at The Hawth.
Fi Steps performed in Disneyland Paris in the summers of 2008, 2010, 2014, 2019 and 2022 and also in PortAventura, Spain in 2009 and 2010. We have also performed on a European Cruise in 2013 and 2015. Fiona has produced over 33 Fi Steps School Show Productions. We have opened Miss Pole UK and the World Pole Championships.
Individual students have taken part in National Roadshows, local professional touring productions, TV commercials, films, pantomines and circus schools. Students have also gained places at professional performing arts colleges such as Tiffanys Theatre College, London Studios, Arts Educational , The Centre, Wilkes Academy, Performers College, Masters Performing Arts College, Brit School, D&B Academy, Trinity Laban, Italia Conti, Addict Academy and Laines. Students have worked abroad, cruised, appeared in professional shows such as School Of Rock, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, War Horse, Starlight Express, 101 Dalmations Whistle Down The Wind as well as working in Disneyland Paris.
