Drama Kids Drama Academy provides entertaining and educational drama classes in Selby to help your child develop all sorts of skills.
No parent wants their child to lack confidence in their own skills. Drama classes from Drama Kids are the perfect platform for your children to experiment with new ideas and put them into action. Your child will be challenged in a safe and constructive way through our first-class drama school.
Upper and lower primary school children at the Drama Kids Drama Academy learn team-building and tap into their inner creativity with a range of different drama classes at our Selby drama school. We also take on youth theatre students in years seven and above.
Performances include improvisation, presentations, public speaking, scripted work and acting. Through these sorts of practical lessons, your child can learn valuable communication skills in a fun and safe classroom environment.
It’s important to think critically and our
Selby drama school certainly helps in that regard. Important social skills can also be developed alongside practical drama skills, helping your child to become a more well-rounded individual.
We welcome children of all abilities and experience and our drama classes are encouraged by our highly motivated and knowledgeable drama leaders. They help encourage your child to listen to others and think positively about themselves and their classmates.
We know that every child has their own style and are better at some things than others. That’s why we also work on expression and physical coordination so that their ideas are portrayed in a way that is the most appropriate for them. The aim is to help your child to flourish, enjoy themselves and learn lots of different skills.

Physical fitness is improved through physical movement exercises while their coordination will also be boosted through dance and similar types of performances. Every week, we carry out a different script or improvisation to find the areas that best suit your child.
And while a
drama school
is often considered as a training ground for actors, other important roles need to be fulfilled as well. Singers and dancers can learn from exercises that our teachers carry out. There are also costume, prop or set designs that more artistic children can design. Whatever advantage your child has, we help them to harness and develop that into a production that everybody can be proud of.
The
production
often takes place in Autumn and gives parents the opportunity to see the hard work that your child has put in first-hand, with a performance that will knock your socks off.
Throughout the weeks and months preparing for this performance, we guarantee the safety of your child. We take safeguarding extremely seriously at the
Drama Kids Drama Academy
and we offer continual support for all students if they are suffering with any issues.
BOOK Taster Session
Do you want to make sure your child enjoys the classes before joining? Book you first class today.
You can ‘try before you buy’ at the Drama Kids Drama Academy thanks to our free drama taster sessions. By coming to our first session, you aren’t obligated to continue the drama classes after that.
Taster sessions are a great way of asking our teachers any questions about how your child will develop and what they will be doing during drama classes. All our teachers are fully qualified and our classes are available for all age groups, no matter what their experience is.
Drama is a fantastic way for children to learn more about their boundaries. We can even provide a more intensive class if this suits your circumstances better, with more regular classes and productions taking place.
Call or email us today to find out more about our drama school.
Our class sizes allow the teacher to bring out the best in every child. We firmly believe that positive praise should be given to every child at every class.
