Engaging and imaginative classes for children.

Welcome to PQA Darlington’s Sunday academy!

Our academy has superb facilities that include a spacious performance hall, where students will learn to develop their comedy and drama skills. It is also the perfect place to showcase their talent during our in-house showings of work!

The dance studio is air-conditioned, with sprung floors and mirrored walls, so you can strut your funky stuff in musical theatre. Our film studio is a performance area with a removable green screen, so our young filmmakers can create any weird and wonderful set that their imagination comes up with. To top it off, our fabulous, professionally trained teachers deliver fun-filled, creative, high-energy, action-packed sessions. 

Try your hand at our classes in comedy, drama, filmmaking and theatre with a free session. 

From time to time, we will also have masterclasses in street dance, theatrical make-up, clowning, and puppetry. 

If you have a passion for singing, a love of dancing, perhaps you want to be the next big film director, or you just want to have fun while learning new skills, come and give us a visit. Book your free session today!
