Choose Your Class
Mini Movers3–6
Our early years classes provide the perfect introduction to life at KSPA. Focussing on building an inner self-confidence, these classes explore an early introduction to dance, singing and drama taught through game and roleplay in a fun, friendly and nurturing environment.
Movers7–11
Our highly trained team of teachers cover all aspects of singing, dance and acting technique, character and delivery in more depth and will work towards the school’s next showcase or performance and ultimately graduation into Shakers.
Shakers11–19
These classes provide a greater emphasis on freedom of expression and the exploration of individual creativity and flair. Vocal harmonies become more complex, dance choreo more varied and acting through script-work and improvisation is developed in more detail.
LAMDAYr 6–13
Nationally recognised acting qualifications from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, taught in groups of no more than six. Graded exams from Entry Level through to Grade 8, with UCAS points at the top grades that count towards a university application.
