Welcome to DramaTykes!
Making a Production Out of Play!
Our DramaTykes classes embrace the storyteller in your child-- cultivating communication skills, building confidence, and teaming up to imagine, create, and produce unforgettable theatrical experiences. Drama also gives your child the chance to be active and move in new ways. Let your child take center stage with us!
We currently work with ages 2-2nd grade.
Nothing is more fun than helping children be creative and dramatic! Teachers, CeCe Talley, Sara Nichols, DeAnna Axness, Jill Rodriquez, and Charlene Becicka are our group of fabulous teachers.
We travel to daycares throughout the Des Moines and surrounding areas to provide once weekly instruction for ages 2 1/2-preschool. We also hold classes at schools and Pied Piper Studios for children K - 5th grade . We have also held classes at libraries, churches, dance studios and even the zoo!
