OPEN DAY - Part-time Classes (Posted 30.7.08)
The day is an ideal chance to experience what GAMTA is all about. Prospective students come along with a parent to see a short performance by some of our existing students. Parents then leave their children for the remainder of the day to participate in three workshops in Dance, Drama and Singing. All successful applicants will appear in our phenomenally successful Christmas panto which takes place at the SECC in December. This year's show is Beauty and the Beast.
The day allows prospective students to experience what it would be like to be a part of GAMTA and lets staff monitor the children in a working situation. Following the Open Day, staff select those students whom they feel would most benefit from GAMTA’s courses and invite them to enrol. There is no charge for the Open Day and it’s GREAT fun – what are you waiting for?! Book a place now by calling us on 08700 11 18 18 or complete the Online Application Form by clicking HERE
