FREE Performing Arts Resources
Helpful guides, activity sheets and confidence-building resources for children, parents and adult dancers to enjoy at home
Welcome to the All Access Performing Arts free resources library.
Here you’ll find a growing collection of free downloadable guides and activity sheets designed to support children, parents and adults with dance, drama, musical theatre and performing arts.
Whether your child is preparing for their very first class, you’re wondering which type of performing arts class might suit them best, or you’re thinking about returning to dance yourself after a long break, these resources are here to help.
At All Access, we believe performing arts should feel welcoming, encouraging and accessible. You don’t need to arrive confident, experienced or already knowing what to do — sometimes taking that first small step is the most important part.
Looking for more tips and advice?
Our blog is full of helpful articles for parents and adult dancers, covering topics such as building children’s confidence, choosing the right performing arts class, LAMDA exams, returning to dance as an adult and what to expect from your first class.

Inside, children can:

- Discover the different things they might enjoy trying
- Identify their own “superpowers”
- Draw themselves performing on stage
