Creative Learning Opportunities for Young People.

At PQA Hastings & St Leonards, we offer exciting opportunities for students to explore all aspects of the performing arts. Every Saturday, students engage in classes that develop their skills in acting, singing, dancing, and filmmaking. We focus on nurturing each child’s creativity and self-expression, helping them build self-belief and work collaboratively as part of a team.


Our students work on a variety of performance projects, from acting and film productions to musical theatre pieces. In addition to their regular classes, they also enjoy regular performance opportunities and film screenings, where they can showcase their work to peers and family. These experiences foster a strong sense of pride and accomplishment as students see their efforts come to life.


Whether your child is a budding performer or looking to try something new, PQA Hastings & St Leonards is the ideal place for them to explore their creativity and grow. Book a free session today to meet our friendly team and kickstart your child’s performing arts journey with us!
