Zac Patterson - Principal PQA Norwich

Passionate about performing arts training for children and young people.

Having trained locally in the area with Estelle Clifton and June Glennie, Zac went on to further his career and trained professionally at Performers College in Essex under the direction of Brian Rogers and Sue Stephens. Zac has performed numerous times in the West End and on TV including dancing for Take That, Ant & Dec and Danni Minogue, The Royal Variety Performance, Sunday Night Live at The Palladium, Channel 4's Big Breakfast and appeared in adverts for Birds Eye and Kleenex.

Zac holds the Diploma in Dance Education teaching qualifications with the prestigious Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, of which he is qualified to teach Imperial Ballet, Tap and Modern Theatre. Nothing inspires Zac more than when students come and are a little shy, then seeing the difference in them within a few short weeks. "I know we are doing something right when a student comes to the Academy and won't talk for the first week, yet by the end of term they are singing solos and auditioning for major parts with Quirky Kidz Agency, this inspires me even more to nurture the next generation of performing arts students."
