Whether you are born for the stage or are the shy, less confident type, our drama and dance classes will be committed to nurturing all children, regardless of talent, where equal attention will be given to all participants in the course. Its objective is to instill in students a love of the arts while enhancing positive self-image, self-esteem and self-expression. Confidence will be built in a non-competitive environment by learning invaluable social skills through drama games, dance and contemporary theatre.

Our Dance & Drama classes caters for Junior Infants up to young adults and is one of our most popular programmes.

Studying drama develops emotional maturity, and gives pupils a deep understanding of themselves. Because it involves using not only their voices and bodies, but also emotions and creativity, it is able to engender a deep sense of self-esteem. It is also a subject that requires a great deal of peer trust, and so it plays an important role in teaching communication, listening and empathy skills. Studying drama is demanding, and teaches pupils that success only comes from hard work. The skills that are learned by studying drama are invaluable in later life.

Studying dance develops a sense of self confidence through accomplishment. By learning skills such as balance, rhythm, poise, creativity, focus, and discipline, each student is able to see themselves as an achiever. With a skilled teacher who cares about each dancer and strives to maintain a nurturing environment, every student in WAMA can learn to dance to the best of their own ability. In an environment that features age appropriate music, costuming and choreography they will grow in confidence, grace and beauty.
