Don Rae Academy provides after-school clubs that give children an opportunity to take part in dance, drama and performing arts activities outside the regular school timetable.
The clubs provide a structured environment where children can explore creative activities, learn performance skills and enjoy participating with their classmates.
After-school clubs can provide a convenient way for children to continue exploring performing arts after the school day.
Activities can include dance, drama, acting, movement, performance and creative exercises. The exact content can be planned around the requirements of the school and participating children.
The sessions are designed to be practical and engaging, allowing children to take part rather than simply watch.
Combining different activities can provide variety throughout the club programme and allow children to discover different areas of performing arts.
Dance activities can include choreography, movement and performance
Drama activities can include acting, characterization, storytelling and improvisation.
Through regular participation, children can develop:
An after-school club provides children with a regular creative activity.
Regular sessions can allow children to become familiar with the class environment.
Children can develop relationships with other participants.
Skills can develop session by session, over the course of the club.
The format can also give children something to look forward to after the school day while encouraging active participation and creativity.
