Our Story
A legacy of diversity and versatility
Our mission is to nurture everyone individually. Our courses attract diverse students with varying experiences and training interests. We aim to turn them into versatile performers who also possess an invaluable global understanding of the performing arts.
The evolutionary nature of our courses means our students leave us with current industry training and know-how, setting them up for sustainable careers within the performing arts globally.
Our setting offers training in a professional environment with our highly regarded teaching faculty, which includes West End Choreographers, Directors, Musical Directors and Performers.
