ACTING SYLLABUS:
The emphasis will be more on practical training with subjects covered such as miming, voice projection, reproduction of scenes, improvisation, dialogue delivery, observation and much more. Bollywood Dancing will also be taught to help students become versatile performers.

DANCE TRAINING:
Modern Indian (Bollywood) dance will be taught as part of the course performed to Bollywood hits. The contents of the course include a blend of Indian classical, Bhangra, Folk and Western Street dance. The dance training will ensure that the student becomes a versatile performer.

LIVE STAGE PERFORMANCE:
Part of the course structure includes preparing for a stage musical, which will involve acting, and dance based on the Bollywood film industry. The stage show will then be performed in front of a live audience at various venues (the show may be televised). This is a great way to build your acting portfolio - through training and practical experience, and allowing talent scouts to see your work.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT (AGENCY):
Outstanding students will be placed on the Diva Entertainments Agency and sent for various auditions and promoted. Students who do not wish to perform on stage should not send their details to the Agency.

EXAMINATIONS
Courses at HDA follow a structured format comprising of a 12-week course with an exam in the 13th week. The exams are optional, although we highly recommend that you take them because it teaches you discipline, improve your abilities to work under exam/extreme conditions and excel quicker as a dancer! The student will receive a report and a professionally accredited certificate.
A fee is payable for each exam. (Reports must be collected in the class at the beginning of the following term).

DRESS CODE
To ensure full safety for all our students, therefore we strongly advise all students to dress comfortably when attending their classes (i.e. comfortable trousers and top, and trainers/or bare-foot). Students SHOULD NOT attend their classes wearing dresses/skirts/tight clothing or SHOES/SANDALS in which they may find it difficult to dance. Failure to adhere to these rules may lead to the student being sent home or unable to attend that particular class.
