Essex Performing Arts Academy is open to anyone aged between 4 and 19 years of age. All we ask is that you have a keen interest in the performing arts and that you are ready to learn!

Our  academy is split into various stages, which enables us to provide the relevant training for each age group. Our aim is to build confidence, inspire, stimulate and challenge all of our students, no matter what age or ability. By training with us you will receive skills that are vital to succeed in everyday life, as well as the training and knowledge that is required to form a career within the industry. Classes run weekly, in 12 week terms, similar to a school year.

Each year, every student will take part in our end of year performance, allowing them to gain experience as a performer, as well as showing friends and family how they are progressing. This in itself is an exciting and rewarding end to the year for all students. We will also be making exams available in all three disciplines of dance, singing and drama, for those students who are looking to continue with performing arts as a career. For our older students, we will provide the opportunity to attend workshops with various industry professionals, and well known names, which not only equips them with important new skills, but gives them a great, realistic insight into the industry.

Throughout all age groups we require each student to adhere to our uniform dress code.  We believe that this enables our students to focus on building relationships with each other whilst progressing with their training, without any unnecessary distractions.

It is of great importance to us that all students receive equal attention, and a high level of tuition from all of our highly qualified and experienced teachers. We are committed to providing your child with the relevant skills, whatever their chosen career path.

At Essex Performing Arts we are incredibly proud of all of our teachers, who have been handpicked for their own specific skills, and high standards. They are all enthusiastic, hard working professionals who are passionate about passing on their knowledge, in a fun, exciting and rewarding way.
