Sing dance and act
A fun professional performing arts school for your budding triple threat performer
Are you eager to introduce your child to the enchanting world of live theatre, or perhaps seeking a comprehensive performing arts experience for both you and your child?
King Academy, a family-run performing arts school based in Wigston Leicestershire, welcomes children aged 3 and up. Our inclusive program is dedicated to nurturing young artists across Leicestershire, helping them build confidence and develop professionally in the performing arts.
We aim to provide every child with the opportunity to explore singing, dancing, and acting, creating well-rounded performers. Our journey begins with our youngest group, the Kinglets, who will learn the basics of performance in a fun and engaging environment. As children progress, they can further refine their skills in singing, dancing, or acting through our advanced classes.
Our sessions cover a variety of disciplines, including Singing, Acting, and different forms of dance such as acro, ballet and tap.
Upcoming Audition!
Are you wanting to take a visit down the yellow brick road? Our student auditions for 'The Wizard of Oz' are this February!
