First attempt… we’ll work on the timing 😂

Our Seniors taking on an ensemble challenge — listening, responding, following instructions and working together, all while having a lot of laughs along the way.

These are exactly the skills we develop in acting: being aware of the people around you, reacting in the moment and working as an ensemble.

Want to give acting a try? We offer free trials for ages 12–18.

Our August Stars of the Week!

A huge well done to all of the students who earned Star of the Week during August.

These awards aren't just about giving a great performance. We love recognising the things that happen in class too - taking direction, giving something a go, making brave acting choices, working hard, supporting others and showing real progress.

Very proud of this bunch. Congratulations to all of our August stars!

🎭 We asked our students…

“What’s your favourite thing about being part of Young Actors Academy?”

Their answers? The teachers, the people and how friendly everyone is. 💙

We love this one because it gives a little glimpse of what YAA feels like from the people who actually come through the doors every week.

💙 This is exactly the kind of environment we want Young Actors Academy to be.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My daughter was looking for an acting school but without the pretentiousness of some of the ones we had seen.

After only four weeks, the academy performed their first show and my daughter loved it. It was run as a series of stories so that everyone got similar sized parts, and they all did really well (the backstage team were really supportive of them all).

She can’t wait to visit every week.”

Thank you, Neil, for such a lovely review. 🎭

Creating a supportive environment where young actors can develop, perform and enjoy being part of the group really matters to us.

🎭 Improvisation in action with our Coalville Seniors!

This week, our Seniors have been exploring status and power – looking at how relationships can shift within a scene and how actors can communicate those changes through performance.

Improvisation gives them the chance to experiment, make choices and respond to each other in the moment rather than relying on a script.

📍 Ellistown (Coalville) | Mondays
🎭 Junior Stage Acting | Ages 6–11
🎭 Senior Stage Acting | Ages 12–18
✨ FREE trials available

We also run Stage Acting, Musical Theatre and Little Performers classes in Leicester Forest East on Saturdays.

🎭 Focus and concentration — disguised as a game!

Our Senior Musical Theatre students might look like they're simply having fun here, but games like this challenge them to stay focused, react quickly and pay attention to what's happening around them.

It's all part of the skills we explore alongside acting through song and movement.

📍 Leicester Forest East | Saturdays
🎭 Junior Musical Theatre | Ages 7–11
🎭 Senior Musical Theatre | Ages 12–18
✨ FREE trials available

🎭 Our brand new Junior Musical Theatre class is underway!

It was fantastic to welcome our first group of young performers as they began exploring acting through song and movement.

Every performer starts somewhere, and we can't wait to watch them grow over the coming weeks as they continue developing their acting and musical theatre skills.

If your child loves acting, singing or performing, we'd love to welcome them for a FREE trial.
