Activities outside school can be instrumental for children’s development. Performing arts, including acting and musical theatre, can be great for children to express themselves, mingle with their peers, and increase their self-confidence.
This list includes the 5 best drama and theatre classes for kids in Singapore. From camps on holidays to full-term courses, there are plenty of options to explore for your kids. Classes are structured according to age groups, allowing kids to learn and perform with other children their age.
Theatre art involves role-playing, singing, and even dancing at times, which allows children to discover their hidden talents. Besides learning, children and teens also get to enjoy the games and activities conducted in the classes.
While some classes are offered during holidays only, many schools conduct weekend classes. You can easily find a drama course that suits your child’s schedule.
