M.A.D. Squad is a performing arts school designed to immerse students in the fun and theatrical world of musical theater and performance . Our after school classes take place in a local venue and focus on singing, acting and dance. These classes allow students to explore these different components and extend their skills and confidence whilst building a solid foundation in performing arts and building great friendships along the way.
M.A.D. Squad, short for Musical Acting and Dance, was created in 2013 and not only provides a vessel for performing arts within a local community but also helps create performance opportunities for students.
