Rebecca and Zoe founded The Performing Arts Theatre Academy in Blandford Forum back in 2014, aiming to ignite energy, creativity, and passion in students. This leading performing arts group offers a variety of classes: from acting and singing to ballet, tap, acro, and commercial jazz.
Their commitment to excellence and professional teaching is evident as they nurture each student's growth within a supportive environment. With a team that respects each student’s uniqueness, personalized guidance is always at the forefront.
Small class sizes ensure every child gets the attention they need to thrive. New students can dive in with a 4-week trial to fully experience the academy’s offerings. Beyond regular classes, the academy runs school holiday workshops that cover everything from dance and musical theatre medleys to acro and acting camps. These workshops conclude with performances in end-of-year productions and local events around Blandford Forum.
The academy also provides extensive certification programs, including Trinity Speech and Drama, RAD Ballet, and BBO Tap and Acro exams. These not only refine skills but also build confidence and independence. The ballet programme, under Royal Academy of Dance accredited instructors, lays the foundation for other dance styles, enhancing balance, strength, and poise. Private lessons are available for tailored progress.
Since its inception, the academy has expanded significantly, once operating out of a church hall and now in its own purpose-built studios with state-of-the-art facilities. Rebecca and Zoe take pride in fostering every student's passion and talent, creating a caring and inclusive environment where self-esteem, creativity, and teamwork flourish.
