About Us

“NAPA – the place you go to be you”

NAPA is the biggest performing arts school in the region with over 600 young people coming through our doors every week. We’re proud to offer professional, affordable performing arts tuition of the highest standard.

“Coming to NAPA has given me a chance to do something I love with friends that are more like family. The memories I have made are ones that could never be replaced” – DANIELLE

We are a registered charity dedicated to inspiring self-confidence, communication skills, and self-worth in all children. Many of our former pupils have gone on to have incredible careers in dance, drama and West End musicals, but we are proud of each and every one of our young people.

“When I’m at NAPA I can put everything else to one side and do what I love best. When I’m at NAPA dancing I’m not Mummy’s little helper, I’m not a big sister – just me!” – ABIGAIL

Whether you come to NAPA to start your journey towards a career as a professional performer, or you just want to make friends and have fun – there’s a place for you here.

“A warm, welcoming, lively place where children feel free to be who they want to be” – SIMONE (PARENT)

Our aim is to keep our class fees as low as possible, to remove the barriers that many young people in the city face when accessing the arts. We’re a family – warm and welcoming to all. Please contact us to see how you could become a part of Team NAPA. You’ll never look back.

“It’s a chance to be me and I have met many new friends from different schools” – MIRIAM
