Classes

Chiswick Theatre Arts has a restricted class size, so all attending will receive very good individual tuition. For adult classes there is a maximum of 8 adults and for children a maximum of 8-10. Our classes are held in our Enchanted Realm which is truly the most beautiful and inspiring space to learn dance and drama. It is quite unique in that aspect.

For Children

A basic grounding in these disciplines will allow them to grow in confidence, develop communication skills and improve fitness. Every student is treated like an individual and students are encouraged to develop their skills at their own pace. No previous experience is necessary. Chiswick Theatre Arts is all about enjoying and experiencing the arts first hand – students will gain a head start that will serve them well now, and in the future. Examinations can be taken in Ballet and Modern (ISTD syllabus).


For Adults

Dance and drama is a great way to get fit, have fun, learn new skills and meet like minded people. No previous experience is necessary.
