Public Performances

Unlike other dance and drama schools DAPA pupils regularly perform for the public (not to mention family and friends) in major theatres. Students will usually make a minimum of two appearances per year. During the refurbishment of The Marlowe Theatre Canterbury, we are staging our annual pantomime, and the DAPA Graduation Show at the Margate Winter Gardens. DAPA also has an Irish Dance Troupe and a classical Ballet Company that gives an annual summer production, featuring professional dancers and past students. All the Holiday Workshops culminate in public performances.
