With a strong emphasis on dance techniques alongside developing their voice, diction, imagination, staging, and musicality. ​It has been developed to build the skills necessary to communicate the dramatic content of musical text over a range of musical styles.

 

Limited class sizes ensure that each child gets the specific development and professional education they need to follow their dreams.

I could not recommend Pata enough. My daughter has been going since pre school and has loved every moment and created a real passion. It is a great place to learn new performing skills but on another level, the kids build character, make amazing friendships and develop who they are. Miss Becky and Miss Zoe are great teachers and run an amazing school.
