I wouldn’t have got into Bird if it wasn’t for the training I got from finesse. Each teacher taught me so many different skills that would help me within an audition space, whether that’s how to hold my myself or how to control my nerves. After having lessons from finesse, I felt I could go into my auditions with confidence and show the panel exactly what I had to offer. I couldn’t thank finesse enough for preparing me for my auditions.

Our daughter has been a student of Finesse Stage and Screen from the very start. The incredible teaching, support and inspiring passion has been unwavering. Finesse is a community where you are empowered to shine and be your authentic self enabling students to express themselves, gain confidence and grow.

Gracie has been offered a place at Bird College doing a 3 year degree course in Professional Dance and Musical Theatre. Finesses Stage & Screen, Djalenga Scott and Olivia Fines, have played an important role in helping her achieve her dream of performing on the West End in the future. I know that you will be championing her in the next chapter of learning.

We cannot thank you enough.

I have been with finesse from the start and I cannot recommend them enough! They have helped me grow massively as a performer, boosting my confidence, helping me get prepped for all my drama school auditions and have given me amazing opportunities to talk with and perform alongside industry professionals. DJ and Liv are the most supportive, bubbly and caring people who have never stopped believing in me. They have challenged me, pushing me outside of my comfort zone in the best way, whilst keeping the fun side alive. I now feel so ready for my next chapter at Italia Conti!

My daughter Poppy has a huge passion for musical theatre and hoped to successfully audition and gain a place at drama school. She joined Finesse in early 2024, attending their workshops to prepare for drama school auditions. She came back after her first session absolutely beaming. DJ and Liv made her feel so at ease, and gave her so much support and encouragement to continue to pursue her dreams. Since then she has attended the Finesse intensives and had the opportunity to perform alongside professionals within the industry, as well as attend 1:1 sessions with both DJ and Liv to prep audition for parts within the theatre groups she attends and also to prep for auditions at drama schools. With the support she’s received she has successfully gained lead roles in Six (Teen Edition) Oliver and Fame and also gained a place at Performers College to continue her training. None of this would be possible without Finesse, they’re such a supportive wonderful group, can’t thank them enough x

I have trained with Finesse for a while now and have loved every single second of it. Djalenga and Olivia right from the beginning were so welcoming and make every session a relaxed and comfortable environment where you can take risks and get incredible industry feedback. Not only do they give incredible training and opportunities but they are always there to help with any questions and advice no matter how big or small. My confidence has grown so much being with finesse and it really is THE place to be.

As soon as I joined Finesse I knew I would receive the most experienced training available. All the teachers have so much background in the professional industry that they want to share with their students, to make sure that we are fully prepared for Drama School, Auditions, and even shows. Without Finesse I wouldn’t have been anywhere near prepared for my drama school auditions, I cannot thank them enough for what they have done for me in order for me to successfully gain a place on the Italia Conti BA Hons degree course.

Both of my daughters (10 and 6 years old) attended the last Sprinkles workshop and loved every second! I was impressed to see and hear the great songs and dance routines they had been learning! DJ and Olivia are fantastic at inspiring the children and developing their confidence. I would send my girls to these workshops in a heartbeat! Thank you Finesse!

I’ve done one project with Finesse Stage and Screen which was the winter showcase in 2024, and I never thought such an intensive rehearsal period could be so relaxed. All the professionals and people I was performing alongside with were so kind and supportive, and was genuinely just a great load of fun. Big props to the owners of this company Djalenga Fines and Olivia Fines for putting together such a wonderful company, and big thank yous to the rest of the professionals for allowing this opportunity for young performers to put on a show alongside you and to learn from you. Overall had a great time in those three days and would definitely recommend this for young performers who have big dreams to be performing for a living, such an easy and pleasant way to start getting that sense of professionalism and feel of what it’s like to be in the industry.

My 10 year old daughter had the best time at the Sprinkles workshop. She loved the singing, dancing and acting all combined and would not stop showing me her moves the next few days. I will definitely be booking her in again over the Summer. Such a privilege to be taught by industry professionals who are clearly passionate about what they do!
