DPAC has been a great experience for my children. My 14 year-old has been in 4 productions and my 10 year-old in 4 others. Both of their groups have been fun and supportive. They have learned technique, but I think the focus has mostly been on learning to work in a production: singing in a chorus, dancing with groups and in stunts, setting scenes and pitching in, and most importantly, being a good and encouraging cast mate. The directors are talented themselves with a passion for teaching children. DPAC has been a great place for them to learn, have fun, grow their talent and a safe place to just be themselves. Can’t recommend it more, we absolutely love it.
