Drama classes for kids

Some children have an inbuilt love of being on the stage, and dream of starring in a West End show one day. Others hate being in the limelight and struggle with stage fright every time they’re in a school play.

Whichever category your child falls into, joining a drama class has many benefits, including building confidence and imagination, improving their communication skills, helping them get used to working as a team, and giving them an outlet for their emotions.

We’ve rounded up the best drama classes for kids in your area, for children of all ages and stages.

From play-based groups for preschoolers to renowned performing arts schools that train kids in musical theatre, stage acting, singing and more, there’s something to suit every personality.
