HCTG offers weekly drama classes for children ages 3½-18 (divided into age-groups, see below).
These classes offer a combination of singing, acting and dance and each class works towards a production at the end of every term, in a real live theatre, with a real live audience! The productions include professional scenery, costumes, crew, lighting and a ‘live’ band. We run 2 terms a year.
All classes perform 2 productions a year in a big local theatre, where they all get a chance to shine!
We also run Contemporary / Street dance classes, as well as LAMDA classes. Our LAMDA students work towards a publicly recognised exam at the end of each term
All of our fees cover the whole of our term (which is longer than a school term!) from the start of term up to and including the show. There are no hidden compulsory extras.
