Act, Dance, Sing

(Music Theatre)

A taste of music theatre in a fast-paced program focusing on storytelling through voice

and movement.

Variety is the spice of life!

When it comes to young people trying new things, we know it can be tricky to hold their interest. Our Act, Dance, Sing program provides students with a taste of all three music theatre disciplines, allowing them the chance to explore and play in a supportive environment. Through our fast-paced lessons, students will develop a wide range of skills and hopefully a love for performance along the way.

What makes us different to a dance school?

At ADS we believe that music theatre should always be rooted in truthful acting, hence why our drama component remains the forefront of every lesson… before breaking out into song and dance, of course! Students can look forward to building a solid foundation across a wide range of musical styles and approaches through the development of technical skills and performance repertoire.

ADS has been a fantastic after school drama program for my son who has gained so much confidence with his acting singing and dancing and also speaking in general in front of people. He looks forward to going to class each week, seeing his friends, having fun and just adores his teachers. Thanks ADS for bringing a wonderful learning experience into my son’s world.

My daughter has tried a number of extra curricular activities, but none have completely resonated with her, until we found ADS. During the first semester, we have never had one complaint nor any “I don’t want to do this anymore”. The teachers have been wonderful and the development of her skills and self-confidence have been amazing. Thanks ADS! We are looking forward to another wonderful semester of creativity with you!
