Absolutely! We'd love to welcome you to CDS and show you around our creative space. Think of all our programmes at CDS as your creative playgrounds, and we want you to see them firsthand! Here's the thing: Our doors are open for tours Tuesday through Saturday, and on occasion, Sunday. However, Mondays are our designated "quiet day" for catching up and preparing for upcoming workshops and year-long programmes. So, how can you visit? Simply give us a call at 077 774 8022 or 076 774 8022 to schedule a tour and explore the vibrant world of CDS at your convenience!

Our class sizes are intentionally kept small, typically around 12 students per workshop or class. Ever been the "shy kid" in a giant class? We get it. Feeling lost in a sea of faces can make it tough to ask questions or seek help. That's why we take a different approach. Our smaller classes allow us to: See You, Hear You, Support You: In a smaller group, our instructors can truly see each student, observe their progress, and ensure everyone feels comfortable participating. Give You Personalised Attention: With fewer students, instructors can dedicate more time to individual needs. Whether you need a quick clarification or more in-depth guidance, you'll have the space to ask questions and get the support you deserve. Provide A Safe Space to Shine: A small, supportive environment fosters a sense of community and belonging. You'll feel more confident to participate, experiment, and truly embrace your creative journey. We believe that everyone deserves to be seen and heard. Our small class sizes are our way of ensuring you get the personalised attention and support you need to thrive in your creative endeavours.

Absolutely! Completing a CDS Masterclass or workshop demonstrates your dedication and skill development. As a token of your achievement, we'll provide you with a certificate of completion that you can proudly showcase. This certificate serves as a valuable addition to your portfolio, showcasing your commitment to learning and artistic growth.

Wondering if our Performing Arts Programme is just another elocution class? Think again! While both focus on communication, they’re worlds apart in approach and impact. Performing Arts: A Full-Scale Creative Journey Imagine a dynamic theatre troupe where every session is an adventure. Our Performing Arts programme is a year-long exploration of acting, dance, music, and more. It's about immersing yourself in the arts, developing a range of skills, and finding your unique voice on stage. Guided by trained facilitators, you'll be honing not just your speaking skills, but your entire creative persona. Elocution Class: Polishing the Basics Elocution classes are great for refining speech and pronunciation. They focus on the fundamentals of clear communication, helping you present yourself confidently in everyday situations. It’s a focused, skill-specific experience. So, which is right for you? Looking to master the basics of clear communication? An elocution class might be your thing. But if you’re craving a comprehensive, hands-on journey through the performing arts, where you’ll be developing your creative potential in every direction—our Performing Arts Programme is your stage. Think of it like this: An elocution class is your dictionary, perfecting each word. Our Performing Arts Programme is your playbook, guiding you through the full script of creative expression!

Absolutely! Our classes go beyond just education—they're about blossoming, thriving, and embarking on a journey of self-discovery. We’ve created a fun, safe space where students can explore their creativity without any pressure. While the Trinity College London exams are a great option, there’s no obligation to take them. It’s all about letting students enjoy the process and grow at their own pace.

The Performing Arts Programme is offered on a term basis, with fees charged per term. Please contact us for the specific fees and payment plans for each term. We also offer flexible payment options to accommodate different financial situations.
