WHO IS DFK?
DFK is a not-for-profit cross-community, all-ability, performing arts group where children and youth aged 3-18 can enjoy learning about acting, singing, dancing, film, tech, innovation and theatre in a friendly and safe environment. Our in-person classes are held on Saturdays at Ardmore Recreation Centre in Armagh City.
DFK is an inclusive group where children and youth readily welcome their peers from across different social groups, helping each other to understand their differences through the performing arts and helping them to integrate into the local community.
Don’t just take our word for it…
‘I would definitely recommend DFK to others. We have been in DFK for 6 months and have met some lovely friendly people. It helps with confidence, socialising and self-esteem. The organising of this group is first class and the enthusiasm of the leaders is infectious. DFK are a super bunch!’

‘I go to DFK to be around my own people and not be judged for being different and expressive. It’s also really helped me come out of my shell. I believe that I’ve become more confident from attending DFK’

‘DFK provides Well organised, age-appropriate classes run by a professional, talented team who really care about the young people they are working with. The fact classes continued throughout the covid lockdown is a testament to their passion’
