Theatre arts have been effective teaching tools for generations.  Utilizing this vast resource for experiential learning has proven successful time and time again.  Our classes draw from a wide range of creative tools and techniques such as: music, storytelling, movement, play building, visual arts, puppets, and masks.  We conduct extensive research in every phase of development, drawing from the areas of education, psychology and science.  We recognize that as humans we all share the same emotions, social and problem solving needs and that effective learning is always fun and engaging.

Our classes begin with children as young as 3.5 and extend into the teen years.  We strive to help children and young adults develop the positive habits that can make the difference in long-term success and happiness.  Additional presentations and materials are designed for creative parents and teachers.  Together we can influence a generation of healthy, happy and successful individuals who thrive in the face of life’s challenges.  At DAI, we create dramatic tools for life!

Classes are available to the general public, special interest groups, schools and other institutions.  Contact us to join a class or bring a program to you.  Here is the current class schedule for the general public.  To receive occasional class notification in the Denver area, sign up now!
