Drama Classes for Ages 3–5

For our youngest performers, drama is all about imagination, creativity and learning through play.

Through storytelling, role play, movement, music and games, children begin developing confidence, imagination, communication and social skills while having fun.

Drama forms part of our Twinkle Stars Saturday performing arts classes, alongside dance and musical theatre.

• Voice projection
• Script work
• Performance confidence
• Teamwork & communication
• Stage awareness

Children aged 6–9 can enjoy drama through our Rising Stars Saturday performing arts classes, our Tuesday Morning Drama Club at St John's C of E School, or our Junior LAMDA Acting classes for those who would like to develop their acting skills further while working towards nationally recognised LAMDA qualifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my child need previous acting experience?

No. We welcome complete beginners as well as children with previous performing experience.

My child is shy. Will drama help?

Drama can be a wonderful way for quieter children to build confidence at their own pace. Many parents enrol their children because they'd like them to become more confident. Our supportive teaching approach allows every child to participate at their own pace, and it's wonderful to see their confidence grow week by week.
