Intensive improvisation and scene-study training for teenagers at The Courtyard Playhouse, Dubai's only KHDA-licensed improv theatre, founded in 2013 in Al Quoz's arts district. Builds collaborative performance skills, quick thinking, and authentic stage presence, with teens performing at public Playhouse showcases rather than just in-class exercises. Monday and Thursday evening sessions suit older students balancing school with a serious interest in theatre.
Art classes in the UAE typically run 60–90 minutes and cover a range of media: drawing, painting, clay, mixed media, and increasingly digital art. Toddler classes (ages 2–5) focus on sensory exploration — the process matters more than the finished product. Older children work with structured techniques while developing their personal creative style. All materials are usually included in the class fee. Many studios hold regular exhibitions of student work, which builds pride and motivation.

Parent tip
Resist the urge to judge your child's art by how realistic it looks. In quality art education, experimentation and creative risk-taking are more valuable than technical precision at young ages. Ask them about their work rather than telling them what it looks like.
My shy daughter is now performing on stage with complete confidence. Drama has transformed her.
