Kings Ely senior

Drama & Dance

By the very nature of Drama, pupils are stretched socially, emotionally and intellectually.

Drama and dance are important parts of school like for many students. School productions have been favourably compared to professional productions and are a highlight of the school calendar.

In addition to acting, they provide many backstage and technical opportunities, essential to building self-confidence and developing theatrical skills.

Theatre Masterclasses and Dance Clubs stretch our most able and deepen their understanding of the subject, whilst educational visits and tours provide opportunities to experience professional theatre, both as performers and audience members.

We regularly perform at the Edinburgh Festival and been awarded four and five stars for original pieces of theatre. Trinity Speech and Drama lessons are available to those seeking additional individual challenges with many securing the highest awards available during their time at King's. 

Dance 

 

At King's Ely, dance is integrated into the Games curriculum for students in Years 9-10, where they learn various dance styles and develop essential dance skills.

Additionally, dance is offered as part of our Enrichment programme, providing more opportunities for students to explore their passion.

For our most dedicated dancers, including dance scholars and advanced performers, we have a dance troupe called King's Ely-te. They train once or twice a week, focusing on high-level technique and performing both within and outside the school.

he Drama department regularly has musical theatre productions in their extra-curricular programme which offers many dance opportunities.
