What is Buzz Kidz?

The South African Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) document dictates that throughout the Life Skills subject children must be exposed to and engage with visual art, dance, drama and music in order to develop as creative and imaginative individuals, and they must be allowed the opportunity to creatively communicate, dramatise, sing, make music, dance and explore movement. Buzz fills this gap and provides this solution to the education sector.

Buzz interactive workshops are custom designed to develop children’s confidence, boost their social skills and offer them a platform to express their individuality. Over the last 12 years, Buzz has earned an excellent reputation for creating original children’s content and delivering educational creative arts across South Africa. Buzz content includes music, podcasts and television programmes for children.

Our services include:

- 3-in-1 Drama, Dance and Singing workshops in schools and independently across South Africa

- Professional Development courses for teachers.

- Custom-developed curricula for various cognitive developmental phases of childhood, with original learning material developed, like music, to compliment and enrich the work.

- Podcasts and our own revolutionary edutainment television show for children.

- Themed interactive birthday parties, holiday courses, and children's entertainment at corporate entertainment.
