Parents’ questions

A little clarity
before the first class.

Practical answers about joining Dreams Theatre School.

Joining & weekly classes

What ages are the main theatre school classes for?

Our main singing, dance and drama sessions are for ages 5–18. Younger children can enquire about Dreams Dainties in Shenfield. Tell us your child’s age so we can help you choose a group.

Does my child need experience?

Beginners are welcome. Your child can try singing, dance and drama in a supportive group before you decide whether to join.

How much does it cost?

The trial is free. Main classes then cost £16 per session, payable four weeks in advance (£64). The sibling rate is £14 per session (£56 for four weeks). See fees and payment details.

How do I arrange a free trial?

Use the free trial form to send your preferred location and your child’s age. Our team will contact you to agree a suitable date. Your enquiry is not a confirmed booking until we have arranged it with you.

What should my child bring?

Choose comfortable clothes they can move in, suitable footwear and water. We will confirm any session-specific information when arranging the trial.

Can a nervous child give it a try?

Yes. Tell us about any worries before the session so we can discuss how to help your child settle. There is no need to arrive with a prepared song, dance or speech.

Other opportunities

Do you have an early years class?

Dreams Dainties runs in Shenfield on Wednesdays, 3.45–4.15 pm. Contact us to discuss suitability, places and fees for your child.

Can my child work towards a LAMDA exam?

We offer LAMDA acting coaching in Shenfield. Please ask about suitable grades, available places and the separate lesson and exam fees.

When is the next holiday workshop?

We publish confirmed dates, themes and booking details on our workshop page. When no event is open, the page explains the general workshop format.

How do I discuss additional needs or access requirements?

Contact us before arranging a visit so we can discuss your child’s needs, the venue and the support available. We want families to have the information they need to decide whether a session is suitable.
