Can I try a session at PQA before signing up?

PQA runs for 41 weeks throughout the school year. You can find the full list of term dates on each academy’s webpage, just search for your local academy and visit its web page.

What Performing Arts Training Does PQA Offer? 

PQA provides performing arts training for children and teens aged 4–18. Our Main Academy (ages 6–18) includes three core classes:

• Musical Theatre – singing, dancing and acting, with skills in choreography, script work and vocal technique.
• Comedy & Drama – traditional acting training, including improvisation, physical theatre and devising comedy.
• Film & TV – handson filmmaking, from screenwriting and directing to lighting, sound and animation.

Some academies also offer Poppets (ages 4–6), an energetic 90-minute class introducing young children to singing, dancing and acting.

Does My Child Need Performing Arts Experience? 

PQA welcomes all children, whether they’re complete beginners or already confident performers. There’s no audition needed to join.

Will My Child Be with Others Their Own Age at PQA?   

At PQA students in Main Academy are grouped by age, learning with other children and young people at similar stages.

• Green Group: Ages 6-9
• Blue Group: Ages 10-12
• Red Group: Ages 13-18

Should My 6-Year-Old Join PQA Poppets or Main Academy? 

This depends on where you feel your child will be happiest. Some 6-year olds are ready to join the 6-9 age group in Main Academy, others will feel more comfortable starting in Poppets.

Your always welcome to discuss what’s best for your child with your local Principal before booking your free session.
