DRAMA AND MUSICAL THEATRE

Drama

Our Drama classes will have something for everyone. Drama is a brilliant way to improve speech, speaking in public or to friends and peers, social interaction, confidence and self-esteem. It can also encourage reading, balance, focus and sense of determination. Children express themselves discovering new skills and using their imagination through improvisation, script work, voice projection / technique, acting styles / character work and performances.

Musical Theatre

An exciting mixture of drama, singing & movement. Performing arts is an excellent way to assist with reading, balance, focus and determination to succeed. Musical Theatre is one of the fastest growing areas of interest within the dramatic arts. Musical theatre is a theatrical performance that combines songs acting, and dance. The class also encourages and motivates young people to interact with each other.

OUR NEW CLASSES & ABILITY GROUPS

We have created a combined set of classes, each class will contain ability groups which will each have a teacher ensuring that each lesson meets the needs of the pupils in that group and in some cases increase the amount of ‘Active Learning’ time.

All our current customers have been moved across to the relevant new class, each pupil will then be assessed to ensure they are placed in a suitable ability group within that class. We are conscious that many of our pupils will have not had lessons for over 6 months and our primary focus over the opening weeks of our programme is that their reintroduction to performing arts classes is a safe and enjoyable one.

• All classes must be booked in advanced; entry will not be permitted to the centres unless you are booked onto a class.

• Arrive dance ready.

• Arrive 5 minutes before your start time, please wait at the designated drop off zone where your teacher will collect you.

• For children under 5 years parents will be asked to wait in the designated waiting area. 

• The cut off entry time for all performing arts classes is the start of the lesson time.

Performing arts classes are paid for by Direct Debit. Direct Debit fees are calculated over 39 weeks – that’s how many weeks our classes run for during the year. The fee for 39 weeks is divided by 12 months to keep the monthly cost affordable. This means that your payments will still come out in August and all holiday times when classes are not running.

There is no contract and the Direct Debit can be cancelled at any time providing one months notice.
