Theatre arts programs in London

“We are very pleased with the dance classes our son attended at Mini Street Dance. Nathan is truly special – he connects with the kids so naturally and creates such a fun and engaging environment. It’s clear he loves what he does, and the children respond so well to his energy. We highly recommend these classes for all boys and girls of this age – it’s a fantastic way for them to build confidence, have fun, and learn some great dance moves!”

“Benjamin loves going to Boom arts ( he goes on a Friday and in the holidays). Paisley always greets us with a warm and friendly smile. Ben is especially fond of Sam and Miss Isla. Ben has grown in confidence and loves showing family members his newest moves! So proud of him achieving an Honours award in his dance exam. The whole team are amazing, organised, supportive, talented and understanding. Thank you to all the team for all their hard work. We appreciate you and highly recommend you.”

“Amazing performing arts school. Offers an astonishing range of classes, taught by first-class teachers and an end of year showcase that rivals West End productions. Couldn't recommend more highly.”

“I spent a total of 9 years attending classes at SRA (aged 9-18). The classes are fantastic, high quality and taught by amazing teachers- tap, ballet, jazz, contemporary, musical theatre were all highlights at my time here. The community is second to none and would recommend SRA to any parent looking to get their children into the performing arts. It has something for everyone ☀️”

“My daughter has been attending LESTA for 5 years and she absolutely loves it! It gives her a sense of purpose and belonging. The shows that Miss Leanne puts on are just incredible. The dedication and hard work really shines through her teaching. The pupils are a little community. It's really lovely to see. I highly recommend LESTA!”

“My 4 year old daughter attends Ballet at Starmakerz every week and she absolutely adores it. Every morning she asks “is it ballet today?” it is without doubt the highlight of her week. She was nervous to start with but Lisa and the team were amazing at encouraging her to give it a try and even offered us a second free trial, after which I could barely drag her away at the end! Really can’t recommend highly enough, even for the shy children it’s a brilliant confidence boost.”

“Our daughter had simply the best time at the PPAS summer school. The classes were varied and brilliantly taught, the two performances at the Leicester Square Theatre and Covent Garden piazza were so exciting and the friendships formed have built up her confidence so much. She is desperate to sign up for next year!!”

“My daughter recently had the opportunity to attend a drama lesson, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. The session was engaging, inspiring, and full of energy. It was wonderful to see her come home excited and confident The instructor created a warm and encouraging environment that helped her feel comfortable and expressive from the start. Thank you for offering such a fantastic opportunity—this has truly sparked a new passion in her! Thanks Emma, Lisa and the rest of the team...well appreciated. Love Nicolex”

“We have watched our daughter learn and experience so much since she has been with Dance Act. We have watched her grow her dance skills across many genres but also grow and develop as a person - being taught in a focussed, happy and inspiring environment by teachers who are not just good at what they do but make it enjoyable and fun for the children participating. Combining great teaching with a happy and expressive environment is exactly what Dance Act do. They actively promote the importance of teamwork and togetherness whilst also unlocking and building on induvial talent.”

“My daughter has attended razzamataz for over 5 years now, in that time I've seen her confidence grow massively, she is always excited to go razz. She has made some great friends and loves her classes always excited for what their doing next she has had some great experiences since joining. Its a warm, friendly place. With great teachers that will love you're kids as much as you. A place where they can be given the chance to grow and develop.”

“I cannot recommend Brilliant Theatre highly enough. My daughter is with the company for 18 months and has progressed so much in that time in terms of confidence and has developed a deep appreciation for musical theatre. David and the team, whilst uber professional, make participation so much fun for the kids. The team bring out the best in the kids and help them all shine. Until you’re part of Brilliant it’s hard to explain just how great it is. If you join up, you’ll get it!”

“I had a wonderful experience training with Robyn and the London Meisner Company, having finished now I miss them all so much. I think the benefits of having a group to train with weekly can’t be understated. Robyn is direct and great at what she does, but she doesn’t cross the line into being harsh which I actually experienced at a different place I studied Meisner at, so that was always appreciated. She helped me see there were many more approaches to the work that I hadn’t explored before and I can’t wait to go back to masterclass and keep it all up! My class was also full of amazing people who have become friends, so that is always a plus! Thank you Robyn!”

“The staff at 360 Arts are amazing! They are all genuine, kind hearted people who care so much about their kids and the parents. A fantastic performing arts school and talent agency. Always totally committed to creating opportunities and making dreams come true. So happy we found 360 Arts!!!”

“Couldn’t have wished for better training! I achieved everything I wanted and more and that’s solely down to the wonderful community setting and care of the staff and students! Cannot recommend highly enough, I will be forever grateful for Reynolds!”

“My daughter whos 8 had her first show on a theatre stage 3 shows over the weekend , and my whole family was literally blown away with the outcome, we have watched her at school plays and we thought she may have had a little nerves being her first time singing on her own in front of a packed out theatre, but she literally left us bursting with pride as she sang on her own whilst dancing with her group, there was no way we was expecting that, we left the show Saturday night buzzing with excitement, we could not believe the confidence that she had , she was living her best life and it was all down to Farli and her amazing team, all the songs and dances was something else. They had every child giving there best over the weekend all the children was included and the energy from each child on that stage , gives you a warm fuzzy feeling that is hard to explain. As a parent you wouldnt want anything else when it comes to your child performing . We are still speechless. Farli literally is a super woman she makes sure your child reaches there full potential. We can not wait for the next one. I recommend csta to any parent who wants there child to reach there full potential.”

“My eldest has been going to Jigsaw since he was 3yrs old and our second quickly followed suit; they are now 7 and 5 respectively and it’s been incredible to watch their growth and also to see how much they enjoy their classes and the friendships they have made. Both of them have no qualms about being on stage at school and I’m sure that their time at Jigsaw has played a huge part in that! The end of term performances are always a highlight and our children are so proud of themselves and excited that we are coming to watch. We also really enjoy reading the individual reports that the teachers have taken the time out to write. Our youngest is just turning 3 and will now be starting her first term! Most classes for 3yr olds require parents to be present so we were slightly nervous when our son started but not now with our youngest; the staff are exceptional and it’s great for their confidence to enjoy a class without parents at that age. Would definitely recommend!”

“Stagecoach has been a great confidence building experience for my daughters. Watching them grow with the support of the teachers and enjoy performing to a packed audience at end of term is something I am sure will help them with future endeavours.”

“Little gem of a place. Our family (13 to 84) went to see The Blues Brother on the 18th May and had a brilliant time. Great staff, nice food, good bar and outdoors area and well priced. Thank you!”

“We absolutely love ATA! My daughter Aurora has grown in confidence so much since joining, and it’s been a joy to watch her shine. She didn’t tell us she had a little speaking part in the Sidcup Fringe show, so it was a wonderful surprise — she was absolutely buzzing afterwards! The team at ATA are so supportive and passionate — they’ve created such a warm and encouraging environment. We’re so proud of how far Aurora has come and so grateful for everything ATA has done for her. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a drama group that truly nurtures kids’ confidence and creativity.”

“Miss Amy is a gifted teacher who makes everyone feel included, safe & special. Her students clearly love her. Theative camps are unique, magical & memorable experiences where children get to be part of a creative team, culminating in incredibly impressive performances for parents on the final day. Cannot recommend highly enough! ✨”

“I am thrilled to share our experience with the ballet and performance classes! This is our second year, and my daughter couldn't be happier. The teachers are truly amazing—dedicated, supportive, and incredibly talented. They create a nurturing environment that encourages the students to express themselves and grow in their skills. We've seen remarkable progress in my daughter's confidence and technique, and it's been a joy to watch her passion for dance flourish. The classes are well-structured and engaging, making learning fun for all the kids. We wholeheartedly recommend these classes to everyone looking for a positive and enriching experience in dance. It's been a wonderful journey for us, and we can't wait to see what the future holds!”

“Our daughter has been attending this school for many years now. Her commitment to her stagecoach training is a very high priority. I attribute this passion to the excellent teaching cohort. They are encouraging, skilled, and above all, deliver the classes with patient kindness. Our daughter has greater confidence and enjoys the variety of activities immensely. The schools principal, Natasha, is an excellent mentor and communicator. She attends to all parental and student concerns with empathy and professionalism. I would recommend this performing arts school to anyone!”

“My son is off to this drama school for a week today. He was lucky enough to get a place again this year. Training from professional theatre actors and question and answer session. Masterclasses in various stage techniques or make-up etc etc and a trip to see a westend show this year it's gatsby. The end of the week they preform in his majesty's theatre infront of parents family friends and industry experts. It is a world class experience with children and young people travelling worldwide to attend. My son made friends from around the world last year who he has kept in contact with and he is happy that they are in the same accommodation time slot this year. It's fully chaperoned and safe and an amazing experience opportunity if you are artistic and love theatre.”

“Small intimate theatre ideal for smaller shows.”

“My daughter did the summer holiday club to perform Moana in a week. Was the first time for her, she absolutely loved it! Teachers were really lovely, I was amazed what they achieved in a week.”

“A wonderful theatre with amazing actors. Hard to believe some are amateurs. Last night’s Gaslight’ was a case in point - all the cast were fantastic.Also, the clarity of their diction was better than some shows in the West End - so good be able to hear every word. Thank you.”

“Went to see Ten in the Bed today and was completely blown away. My 4 year old and not even 2 year old were captivated the whole way through. It was funny and poignant and the acting was brilliantly expressive and physical to help kids follow the dialogue. I want all my friends to take their kids to see it but it’s only on this week! The theatre staff themselves were very welcoming. We’ll be back!”

“Small beautiful theatre, excellent acoustics. It's so near to the actors it gives the impression you too are interacting! Always good quality plays, very intense ones! Highly recommended for theatre lovers. And at affordable prices!”

“Great venue. With amazing productions. The car parking is quite limited so get there early.”

“Had a wonderful first time seeing a show here with my family. Staff were friendly, jugs of water and glasses available at the bar, they had tampons in their toilets which I thought was amazing- I don't think I've ever gone to a place before that provides tampons! When we got to the upper floor seats I booked, there was a handwritten note welcoming us which I thought was really thoughtful of them especially considering how busy they must be with the holiday rush! The view was great and the seats were comfy- I found I had enough leg room (I'm 6'1ft) to enjoy a 2 hour and 40 minutes show in comfort. Because of seat availability, my brother was seated away from us in a lower floor seat. He said the view and comfort was outstanding and that he felt like he was part of the show because of how close he was to the stage! I do believe that you would have a good view whichever seat you're in, from what I could tell there was no seats with restricted views. Can't wait to return to this beautiful theatre in the new year!”
