Welcome to Harborough Academy of Performing Arts (HAPA), a prestigious dance school located in the heart of Market Harborough. With over two decades of experience, HAPA offers expert tuition in a wide range of dance and musical theatre disciplines for students of all ages, from 3 years old to adults.
Founded in 1995 by professional dancer and choreographer, Linda Greene, HAPA is committed to providing excellence in dance and theatre training. Our team of teachers are highly qualified, passionate about the art of dance, and are experts in their field. We believe in nurturing individual talent and helping each student reach their full potential.
At HAPA, we are proud of the high standards achieved by our students. Many have gone on to perform professionally, while others have excelled in exams with the Royal Academy of Dance and Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance. Our annual show, held at the Lighthouse Theatre every March, is always a highlight and showcases the talent and hard work of our students.
Whether our students aspire to a professional career in dance or simply enjoy it as a hobby, parents can have peace of mind knowing that their training is in the hands of qualified experts. Our classes not only focus on technique and performance skills, but also instil valuable life lessons such as self-confidence, expression, teamwork, discipline, focus, independence, physical strength, agility, and coordination.
I have so many happy memories of my time at HAPA. I learnt the craft that I was lucky enough to make my career from teachers that cared so much about the art of dance that it was impossible not to fall in love with it....
At HAPA, we pride ourselves on creating an enjoyable and supportive environment where every student can fulfil their own potential. We offer a comprehensive timetable and calendar of classes, and our purpose-designed studios provide the ideal space for students to learn and grow as performers.
