Our Mission

Our classes run for between 10 & 13 weeks, during each school term. JHA offers three hours of tuition in the following disciplines:-

1 hour – Acting

1 hour – Singing

1 hour – Dance / Musical Theatre

Each child will be given every encouragement to learn and build confidence, pushing forward at all times but always having fun whilst learning stage craft and the necessary discipline every performer must perfect. We aim to encourage a life-long interest and participation in the arts nurturing natural talents and thereby raising aspirations and attainment. One discipline shadows another, therefore, we aspire to encompass inter-action and develop techniques stretching the student if that is their desire.

We encourage students to think and use their imagination in a happy, safe environment, further develop character and make new friends. 

A showcase will be performed at the end of each term demonstrating the student’s acquisition of new presentation skills. We wish to retain our students and intend to excite and inspire.
