Inspiring Young People Every Weekend!.

As Principal of PQA Leicester, my goal is for every young person who trains with us to leave each weekend with a big smile and a bunch of stories to tell!

We have some seriously cool opportunities for our students: masterclasses with industry pros, chances to perform an original show on a West End stage, cinema screenings of their work, and so much more.

If you’re looking for performing arts training in a friendly and supportive environment, come and join our PQA family. We can’t wait to welcome you and your child!
