📢❣️📢 At Dorans Academy a drama class isn't just a drama class. 🎭

And if you're choosing something for your child, that matters.

Ask yourself:

👀Will they simply learn lines and perform, kill time, be in the *in* thing, the place or activity to be seen, following the masses?

🥰📢Or will they be encouraged to speak up, think for themselves, take risks, use their imagination, listen, connect, create and believe in themselves?

Because every child deserves somewhere they can walk through the door and feel:

🧡“I belong here.” ♥️ like how pleased they are to see me ♥️ see how I'm missed if I'm not here

At Dorans Academy, we don't expect children to arrive confident.

We help them build it.

💯The shy child gets a voice.
💯The worrier gets courage.
💯The energetic child gets an outlet.
💯The creative child gets space to flourish.
💯The child who doesn't quite know where they fit gets somewhere they can just be.

📢✨️📢📢✨️📢And sometimes the child who looks completely confident on the outside needs that space too. ❤️

Dorans Academy programs of Drama are the vehicle.

🚗 Confidence, self-expression and a stronger sense of self are the journey.

👀So if you're looking for more than just another after-school activity…

👀Come and discover the Dorans difference. ✨

📢Ages 3–18 | Drama | Speech & Drama | One-to-Ones

Could your child do with a little more confidence? ❤️
Maybe they're bright, funny and full of ideas at home… but somehow that confidence disappears when they're around other people.
👀Maybe they worry.
👀Maybe they overthink.
👀Maybe they struggle to speak up.
👀Maybe they know the answer but don't put their hand up.
👀Or maybe they're simply waiting for somewhere they can be themselves without fear of getting it wrong.
✨️🤛That's where Drama can be so much more than Drama.
At Dorans Academy, we use acting, speech, imagination, movement, roleplay and performance to help children discover something much bigger:
🧡“I CAN.”
🧡I CAN speak.
🧡I CAN express myself.
🧡I CAN try.
🧡 I CAN make mistakes.
🧡 I CAN stand tall.
❣️ I CAN be ME. ✨
And yes… we have lots of fun along the way! 🎭
For ages 3–18 — with Drama, Speech & Drama and One-to-One programmes available.
Because we're not just helping children perform on a stage.
We're helping them feel more confident in the world.
🌟 Laugh. Learn. Perform. Believe.

🎈✨ BREAKING NEWS - WE’RE BACK! STUDIO & THEATRE✨
And a whole new season of possibility is about to begin…
What if your child could walk into a room feeling a little unsure…
and walk out thinking “I CAN!” 💫
At Www.doransAcademy.com, we believe drama is about so much more than performing on a stage.
✨️It’s about finding your voice.
🎈Finding your people.
🥰 Discovering what makes you YOU.
👋Having the courage to try.
👀Learning that mistakes are okay.
😄Laughing until your tummy hurts.
🌟And slowly, wonderfully, discovering:
🥰“I CAN.” 💛

Our classes and programmes are carefully created to nurture the whole child — building confidence, communication, creativity, self-belief and a genuine sense of identity, while celebrating individuality rather than asking children to fit a mould.
With an dedicated indoor drama studio and an outdoor nature theatre, stage, green room auditorium built from nature!! We absolutely are excellent at
🌿 Harnessing the superpower of nature
✨ Nurturing natural talent
🎭 Developing performance & communication skills
💛 Building genuine confidence from the inside out
🌈 Celebrating individuality
🌱 Creating space for children to simply be themselves
Because we don't want children to become someone else.

We help them become more wonderfully, confidently THEM.
