DFA Studios - Holiday Activities and Food Programme

DFA Studios - Holiday Activities and Food Programme logo

We offer a variety of themed activities each holiday period, giving children the chance to explore their creativity through dance, art, music, and arts & crafts. Alongside these creative sessions, we also deliver themed dance choreography workshops designed to inspire imagination and develop performance skills.

Our programme encourages children to collaborate with their peers, share ideas, and build strong social and communication skills in a supportive, inclusive environment.

Each day includes a mix of physical and creative activities, with dance sessions, movement-based games, and team activities promoting fitness, coordination, and confidence. In addition, children can enjoy more relaxed options such as board games and creative craft sessions, helping to balance energy and creativity throughout the day.
