Agency connections

Where it can lead.

Training at Vibe Arts is about confidence, skill and having fun. For young people who want to take it further, we work closely with a partner agency who can open the door to the industry.

Our partner agency

Vibe Arts works with Moonbeam Management.

Moonbeam Management is a performing arts agency that represents a diverse array of children with a variety of talents. They put their clients forward for work in:

We work closely with Moonbeam, so our students and families have a trusted route into the industry if that is where their talent and ambition take them.

Moonbeam is a separate company, and Vibe Arts doesn’t earn anything from the work our students do. They come to see our shows and choose the young people they would like to represent, so being at Vibe Arts doesn’t guarantee representation: that is always up to the agency.

Sean’s story

From our Saturday classes to the West End.

Sean Garcia Madiba trained with us for years. He was spotted by Moonbeam in one of our shows, and his very first audition was for Kinky Boots in the West End. He landed the part of Young Lola. Years of acting, singing and dance, and performing in our shows, gave him the skills and confidence to walk into that room. We even took a Vibe Arts trip to see him on stage.

We’re so proud of Sean, and of every student who takes their training further. Every class and every performance matters, wherever it leads.
