We\u2019ve enjoyed a successful first-year reception from Charleston families and are growing quickly. We\u2019re adding several new schools for after-school programming in Fall 2023.<\/p>\n As an experienced Charleston County substitute teacher, former network affiliate news anchor, and former NYU Tisch School of the Arts and Atlanta Northside High School of the Arts student, I understand the power of positive communication skills, confidence, and teamwork.<\/p>\n We offer award-winning, curriculum-based, social, and emotional learning with fun, copyrighted lessons. Our hour-long weekly classes elevate creative thinking, improve articulation, and inspire polished social skills. Students will never repeat a lesson, and they can start anytime.<\/p>\n We\u2019re part of the world\u2019s largest acting school, The Helen O\u2019Grady Drama Academy, which teaches more than 100K students every week in 38 countries! Drama Kids International has locations in more than 60 cities, teaching more than 50K students each week in the U.S. Our partnership educational program helps children with public speaking, listening skills and problem-solving.<\/p>\n Our classes bring out the best in children to feel empowered to have a voice, become a leader, as well as a cooperative team player in their community for a lifetime of benefits. I hope to meet you and your family soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”b6bde96c-5fcb-4e18-888a-dd06bdb208a4″ use_background_color_gradient=”off” background_enable_image=”off” box_shadow_style=”none” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” background_size=”custom” background_image_width=”64%” background_image_height=”100%” background_position=”bottom_left” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/dramakids.com\/johns-island-james-island-charleston-kiawah-island\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2026\/02\/ff-4cb3e00e10a10731078e7f982509d9f9-ff-28-scaled.jpg” alt=”Drama Kids Charleston South Owner Sharyl-Sutton-Troiana” title_text=”ff-4cb3e00e10a10731078e7f982509d9f9-ff-28″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”ea2c5470-6a13-480a-9773-8482d0bd9310″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”2c3a9589-a1de-448d-95ec-fb055778ed2a” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Alena Popova is the owner and director of Drama Kids Charleston, a parent of three, and a strong believer in the power of the arts to help children thrive.
