Our dance and drama sessions are fun, interactive, collaborative and will arm with your skills you need in the professional world. You also get to visit various venues and watch a variety of different shows!

Tang Hall SMART is the perfect setting. The team empowers Pearl and allows her space to grow. A huge thank you. This is a wonderful setting and the concerts are
truly joyful. I feel Pearl is loved here and what more could we ask for than that.
Drama and Dance sessions at Tang Hall SMART allows students to explore a range of subjects and themes through group and independent work. Sessions can be tailored to suit students strength in a subject, whilst also allowing them to explore new areas of theatre and dance they had not previously considered. Students can expect work to be very practically led with most sessions including rehearsal for a performance in one of our concerts, or a theatre/dance performance in the hall at the Burnholme centre. We often have guest speakers and workshops take place to help further enhance the knowledge and experience of our students. This paired with frequent trips around theatre venues that allows our students to have a well rounded experience of drama and dance, because it is not just about acting and dancing!
​You will be learning things such as:
-
Performance skills which can be applied to on stage performances
-
Using improvisation, scriptwriting and performance skills to devise original pieces.
-
How to plan for a career in the arts industry​​
-
Backstage and theatre production
Real Life Opportunities
There is the opportunity to perform at professional standard venues across Yorkshire alongside other organisations. For example we have had performers perform at festivals within York and Leeds performing to a variety of different audiences.
Our tutors work with students to prepare them for performances with a variety of different disciplines. Sessions are spent building skills and devising performances.
