Our performing arts academies are bursting with activities young people are interested in - from filmmaking to professional masterclasses with actual professionals.
With a fixed monthly fee (and a free t-shirt when you join!) find out just how much is included in a PQA membership for yourself. We offer every child and young person
the chance to try a full session for free.
Welcome to PQA where we help every child find their amazing self through performing arts.
We offer more than drama and dance classes. We don’t just hand them a script or teach them song and dance moves. Each age group works on projects that suit their level. At PQA, they do more than act! They create, write scripts and film their own work. Led by expert teachers, they learn industry and life skills, in a warm and inclusive environment.
Curious about performing arts? We welcome every child to try a free session before you sign up to a membership.
In their free session they can explore our classes in musical theatre, film and TV, comedy, and drama. They’ll meet the academy team, working in groups with others their age. There’s no obligation, and we’re sure they’ll love it!
“When I was younger, my happiest times were spent in drama classes. When our son Charlie was old enough, we wanted him to have the same experience. However, we had trouble finding a class that met all our needs.
My husband Steve and I opened The Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts in 2007. We wanted children and young people to learn more than just singing, acting, and dancing. We believe that performing arts can help them grow into confident and grounded adults. We hope we can welcome you into our PQA family soon!”
