Children’s drama classes in Harrogate

Drama Classes in Harrogate

Drama, we believe, isn’t just an art: it also connects children to the deepest recesses of their spirit, supporting emotional wellbeing and resilience.

Children come to drama class with differing levels of experience and ability. That’s why Drama Kids Drama Academy offers a range of class types to get every child thinking and moving creatively. Lower and upper primary school children are welcome, as are youth theatre students from year seven and up. 

Classes begin with well-articulated instructions. Drama leaders project their voices in a way that encourages children to listen and respond to verbal direction. 

We then work on physical coordination and expression, helping each student refine their style. In some classes, such as composite classes, students work on improvisation, learning how to move in relation to the story they are telling. In others, we work through scripted work and explore different genres. Youth theatre classes incorporate drama, presentation and public speaking skills. These help to grow children’s confidence and make them more expressive so that they can better communicate their performance talents.

Throughout it all, our goal is to ensure that every child is having fun. After all, that’s what drama is all about.

Why Choose A Creative Drama School In Harrogate For Your Child?

The main goal of drama classes is to help children become more expressive. 

Over time, drama school helps to develop your child in a positive and productive way. Students learn focus, communication, creativity and characterisation skills that enhance their performances. Physical movement boosts coordination and, eventually, matures into advanced expression, suitable for public performances. Likewise, speech-related activities heighten vocal skills and give children the tools they need to articulate themselves in a way that encourages others to listen. Students learn different mini scripts and improvisations each week. 

In the Autumn term, we offer parents of primary-aged children the opportunity to watch the entire class. This gives you a chance to sample the curriculum and see performances that your children have been working on hard. 

Drama Kids Drama School takes safeguarding seriously, protecting all young people and individuals at risk who take part in our sessions. We offer support to any student who requests help on a confidential basis in matters relating to safe-guarding.
