PQA Shrewsbury.

Raj Bhambra - Principal PQA Shrewsbury

Passionate about performing arts training for children and young people.

I started my ballet training at the age of 12 and had moved over to contemporary dance by the time I had reached college. This is where it all really started - I was offered a position at the Riven dance company in Birmingham. I worked with Nivea on a product tour around the country during Cancer Research UK's Race for Life campaign, as a backing dancer for Boy George and many more productions around the UK.

After seven years, 500 shows all over the world, a lifetime of experience, gaining a record deal for the group as a team, and the position of being a producer under my belt I finally decided to hit out on my own and produce my own shows. In between all the tours and performances I have always taught for youth theatre and dance education companies as a tutor and choreographer. I love teaching children and young adults, as being able to pass on my knowledge and experience gave me such a feeling of fulfilment. To watch their development under my tutelage was as inspiring to me as much as it was to them. My team and I will endeavour to make sure our students leave PQA with the confidence to be themselves and take on the world with their heads held high.
