As the arts in our schools begin to disappear at an alarming rate, parents are looking further afield to give their children the opportunity to enjoy this much needed education. Established in 1993, Yew Tree Theatre School has expanded throughout Kent from a humble start in a converted barn in Horsmonden to operating at bases in Tunbridge Wells, Paddock Wood, Crowborough and Sevenoaks. There are also plans to open new bases in the future.       Our classes include dance, drama and singing and the weekend workshops run over a three hour          period during normal term time. The three hours are divided into forty-five minutes of jazz and modern              dance, theatre dance that includes tap and ballet where appropriate and forty-five minutes each of                  drama and singing all within small classes.                                                                    As part of our commitment to the education process, we also                                                                    organise trips to see local and national shows, which occasionally                                                                    include cast workshops and backstage tours.(*)   (*) when possible.
