Why not try one of our fabulous holiday workshops, open to all!!

Waddesdon Arts Festival
PQA will be at Waddesdon on Saturday 28 & Sunday 29 June. Find us in the "Learn From The Experts" Section. Click Here to learn more.

At the heart of PQA’s philosophy is a belief that our students should have a really great time!

Our modules are all about students having fun as we build their confidence and self-esteem, expand their imaginations and they learn valuable skills essential for everyday life – not just a career in the performing arts.

They will learn new skills in dance, singing, theatre, television and film – and not just in performance, but in the whole creative process. With PQA, it’s about the whole creative journey – the foundations of good story-telling, the nuts, bolts and cogs that work together to make a brilliant piece of theatre, dance or television. Most importantly, they will make new friends, have fun and learn about themselves, about others and about the world we live in.

Please Browse our site at your leisure. You can learn more about our modules, our staff and how we work at PQA and apply to enrol using the 'Becoming a Student' button or call us on 08456 732022 with any enquiries. We are currently in the process of opening Academies countrywide so if you do not have a local academy let us know you are out there.

If you are interested in becoming a Partner or Teacher we have many opportunities available. You can use this site to request an application form or call us with any enquiries.
