My daughter has been part of the phoenix family since the age of 3. From starting her performing arts journey with pre primary ballet in 2018/19, fast forward to 2025 and she continues blossoming and ever growing in confidence and skill in Ballet, Tap, Modern, Jazz tech, Acro, Drama, and Music theatre.
Thank you PPA for you positive, nurturing, family friendly approach to teaching.

My daughter is a student at PPA and we are so excited to be a part of this school. Having arrived from abroad, we were met with kindness and incredible support from every teacher who guided us with great care throughout the process of integration. Absolutely lovely teachers! The individual approach and genuine passion they put into their work bringing truly outstanding results.
PPA also stages impressive musicals and has a competition team that performs at competitions and receiving high level awards.
Huge thanks for everyone!

Very welcoming, positive & kind energy at PPA The students are encouraged to promote and support each other. My daughter received excellent dance, drama & vocal training – focusing on both technique and performance. The training and encouragement to work towards her dream, enabled her to audition and gain acceptance into a drama school to study musical theatre PPA really do have something for everyone, and everyone is welcomed into the PPA family.

My teenagers have attended PPA for the past seven years and our family felt welcomed from day one. In that time they’ve grown into confident young performers in several different styles of dance, musical theatre and drama. They’ve made brilliant friends of all ages too. All the teachers are highly skilled, but they’re also lovely people, and there’s a real sense of community.
The performance opportunities they’ve had have been fantastic, from shows to competitions (including World of Dance at the O2), all with incredible choreography and direction. If you’re looking for quality performing arts training in a supportive environment, PPA is for you!
