Dance - Modern, Latin & Ballroom
Dance is offered at the College by a qualified dance teacher for Arts & Culture from 2011. Latin and Modern dancing are available once a week in the afternoons on campus. Ballroom dancing is also popular and this is a Wednesday-evening event.

Dancing opens up a wider variety of activities for our pupils. Ballet dancers at the College have permission to pursue ballet off-campus twice a week if necessary.

Drama
Drama is an activity offered in Terms I and IV of the school year. This activity is open to all who are interested and aims to teach basic skills and crafts such as characterisation, mime, scriptwriting, direction and staging and sometimes make-up and prop building. The technical skills of sound and lighting are also taught to those who are interested.

These skills are utilised in the Senior and Junior House plays, which occur annually and are drawn upon when directing the Major Production in the third term of every year. It is a fun and creative way to build confidence and creativity.

Uplands College also has an active Drama Department.
