Top 30 Best Performing arts academy uk in Welling

“If you want to learn the perfect art of flamenco then Ollie is the perfect teacher. He's a superb dancer and exceptionally skilled in his craft. He has a true passion for flamenco and this is reflected in class. As a teacher he’s incredibly inspiring and encouraging and I love his attention to detail (he hears and sees everything!) Ollie cares about teaching correct technique, posture, rhythm and he most definitely has the ability to get the best from his students. His classes are challenging and great fun. You’ll be fully immersed in flamenco, with lovely people, and come away feeling energised and looking forward to the next class! Absolutely recommend The Flamenco Academy.”

“My 11 year old son loves this club and has really progressed in the 5 years he has been attending. Great way to keep fit and have fun. It's also 2 hours parent free time on a Saturday morning win win”

“The past three years at PPA have been the best of my life. It was my first time living away from home but from the first day all of the staff were welcoming, friendly and caring. Training at PPA has given me so many opportunities to further myself in this career through acting, singing and musicianship and in my life as a person. I learned so much from being a student here, the most important lesson being that you should always be yourself because that is the best part about you. PPA gave me the care and support to find out who I was as a performer and as a person. PPA was a better college than I could ever have hoped for and from being here I have gained a family that I never knew I needed.”

“Fabulous theatre school with a fabulous team Lucy, Craig, Hannah, Sophie just to name a few really go above and beyond to ensure every child has fun and learns. Always opportunities to show of their skills and also to qualify in their chosen arts along the way. I wrote this review 4 years ago after my daughter having been at ATA for almost 4 years. She’s now been there almost 8 years and it is still the most amazing place. She gains so much confidence and skill from her classes and has thrived. She has gained LAMDA and IDTA qualifications in the plenty and is now a Grade 2. Sadly this is her final year due to us moving but she has loved every minute and we wouldn’t be without them. They not only are her teachers but they become an extension of the children’s families and help them not only with drama and musical arts but also support them when life is tough and they just need someone to listen. Thank you all for being the amazing team you are. We will truly miss you all. Xx”

“My girls have been with DSPA for many years, they are not only learning dance and performance skills but learnning about commitment, discipline, dedication and much more. Thanks to Miss Elin and the dedicated teachers, they are growing up to be confident performers, thriving to be better each day.”

“I have Two children in Thomas’s Academy, they absolutely love it in there. Teachers and staff around the school are amazing very friendly and very helpful. I highly recommended to any parents.”

“Attended summer school here in 2019. Terrific teaching and an amazing experience with the other students. Focussed on voice, movement and acting, then all brought together to deliver a performance.”

“My Son and Daughter love it here at ACA. The staff are brilliant. There is a faculty, of teachers that have performed in west end shows, and they actually teach them bits from them to. Alex Craig the principal takes the time to help every student achive their dreams, with his first hand advice, from his time within the industory. There are plenty of opportunities, for your child to be on stage with their various shows. Send your child here if they have a dream to be on stage !!”

““Inspiring our children and community to be the very best that they can be!” As a Trustee I feel really privileged and proud to be involved in this journey. “Inclusive” is not only our name but core to everything we do to help our community fulfil the hopes and dreams of our children. Every day our 3 Watford primary schools – Beechfield, Cherry Tree and Laurance Haines work closely together to create great opportunities which inspire our pupils to learn and develop skills to adapt and succeed in our ever changing world. Each school is very much a part of the local community with its own distinct characteristics and curriculum –we don’t believe that one size fits all but a nurturing philosophy underlines everything we do. As part of a group of schools we provide opportunities for our children to participate and share in exciting projects across the schools – whether sporting, outdoors or creative - for example our art display in Watford Museum or the more recent song written and performed to celebrate and thank Covid-19 key workers. Supporting our people to succeed is a core belief and strength – we are lucky to include former pupils among our teaching staff! Working together enables the sharing and development of best practice whilst addressing workload too. Good career progression is available across the Trust schools. “if you want to go fast, go alone.

“Fantastic service. Very helpful and friendly. Felt very at ease and will certainly be returning. Can not recommend enough.”

“Fantastic, fun, family run dance school. My daughter loves it!”

“Walked by on a weekday, saw there was a fencing club up-there. There is also boxing and I wondered what it would be for me. Tried both and Yossif ("maitre d'arme") was just amazing. It's been a real pleasure, releasing some steam every Wednesday. Brought a couple of friends and everybody had so much fun, Yossif is great for new starters to most advanced! I've checked around London and fencing clubs are ridiculously overpriced with staff that are not even good international fencers, Yossif is a one man band working hard but with a big smile on his face and welcoming eyes. Go and check it out, you'll enjoy as much as I did. Unfortunately work keeps me busy 70 hours/week now so can't really comit to it atm, but will go back some days and practise my lunge ;-)”

“Kitty and Josh are the best. I've been training with them for over a year now. I'm fitter, stronger and happier for it. They've helped my through back pain, and we have a laugh too... in between the discipline, endurance, technique and strength training!”

“Fabulous place to dance locally with a huge variety of classes for all ages... Wonderful, fun and vibrant teachers too!”

“Amazing dance academy with focus on student development, every single class is fun and engaging ! Very professional”

“My daughter has been to BDA for nearly 6 years doing ballet / modern and acro lessons, my younger son started ballet and modern 6 months ago. Both love it, the teachers are brilliant with kids and go above and beyond. Highly recommend”

“My 9th year old daughter love it. Very friendly stuff as well.”

“My girls have been with KAPA for nearly 8 years. Ms Vicky is an amazing dance teacher! Ballet, modern, tap, contemporary, acro.... from the very junior to advance classes. Passionate, professional, cares for the children and really strives for the very best for each child. Qualified also as a Pilate instructor and starting new Pilate classes, I am excited to join and get some benefit from her expertise!”

“Excellent dance school. My daughter took part in their show. It was so polished and professional. I was particularly impressed at how every child taking ballet took part in a mini version of Peter Pan - the planning and prep on that alone! Extra rehearsals were laid on which meant juggling for parents but the results were outstanding.”

“Absolutely great classes. The staff are just amazing! I have both of my daughters in classes and they really enjoy it. Very engaging and rewarding for my little ones. Definitely recommend.”

“My little girl loves going to her ballet class with Ms. Sara and the shows she produces for the children to showcase their progress are amazing.”
