Class Timetable
Our classes are designed to build confidence and celebrate diversity in a safe and nurturing environment where our members can express themselves without fear of judgment or negativity.
We run sensory classes for those that need a more structured environment where we focus on sensory development through storytelling, music, and dance. We use lots of visual aids to encourage participation and understanding.
We also run classes for members that are interested in developing their performance skills. We teach theatre skills such as singing, dancing, improvisation, and stagecraft which helps encourage social development, teamwork, language skills, and confidence.
