Sing, Dance, Act

Since 1998 literally thousands of children in East Kent have learnt to sing, dance and act in DAPA classes. We now have the second generation DAPA kids – where the parents attended when they were small. I’m pleased to say that the school is stronger than ever. The standard of teaching and pupil achievement has never been higher, and the constant stream of new Jolly Tots is a testament to the fun we have, quality of the training and the hard work and dedication of the teachers.

DAPA pupils have performed at Celebrity Weddings, Royal Galas and with Britain’s Got Talent winners! We have hosted professional workshops with Flawless and Louie Spence and regularly have West End Workshops with cast members from the shows.

Each year our ballet students have the wonderful opportunity to perform alongside International Dancers in the annual St Margaret’s ballet. DAPA produce Annual Shows, Pantomimes and Holiday Workshops as well as giving students the opportunity to take Exams and Awards.

Hey Sarah. Just had to message to say what a fantastic week Hannah has had doing Grease. She has absolutely loved every minute and come home full of excitement. I’m so grateful to all the teachers for giving them such a special week and an experience I’m sure she’ll never forget. It is the first time Hannah has done a summer school so she was pretty nervous but they did a wonderful job of making her feel comfortable and pushing her out of her comfort zone. The performance was brilliant and all the children were so brave. Thank you, she will certainly be doing a workshop again next summer xx
