Little Duke Theatre Drogheda
Performing Arts Courses Drogheda  

The Drogheda School of Performing Arts runs courses in dance, drama and music, in various combinations, for students from three years of age to eighteen years. Some of our courses include all three disciplines. For instance, on either Wednesdays or Fridays students aged six to twelve years come to The Little Duke Theatre in Drogheda for a two and a half hour session. During this time they spend forty-five minutes working with a drama teacher, forty-five minutes with a dance instructor and forty-five minutes with a singing coach. Students have a fifteen minute supervised break during this session which is important not only as a rest but as an opportunity to meet and get to know the other students.

On Thursdays and Saturdays students aged six to twelve come to The Little Duke Theatre for a two hour session where they have almost one hour of dance and one hour of drama. Students take a ten-minute break during this session.
On Saturdays we also hold one hour long singing classes for students aged six to twelve years and for teenagers.
Saturday afternoons are reserved for our Teenage classes. We have two classes for teenagers, for ages thirteen to fifteen and fifteen to eighteen. These classes are two hours long and students spend almost one hour in dance and one in drama.

We also have a new class starting in Sept 06. Music/drama on Tuesdays for age six to twelve, and on Monday afternoons we offer private tuition in piano, clarinet, recorders, violin, guitar and percussion. For more details see timetable.


And of course we are not forgetting our Tiny Tots. Children aged three to five years come to one hour classes where they spend half an hour with a dance instructor and half an hour with a drama teacher. There are four classes in this age group to choose from; one on Thursday, one on Friday and two on Sunday morning.

There are fifteen students, occasionally a maximum of eighteen, in each class except for Tiny Tots, which have ten. Sometimes two classes are joined together for work on productions and then two teachers work with the group. Our new Music/Drama classes have a maximum of ten per class.

See our Timetable section for times of all these classes in Drogheda.
