Little Academy Performing Arts Classes in Medway, Kent


As the summer holidays come to an end and a new school year begins, many parents start looking for positive, confidence-building activities for their child. If you are searching for post-summer activities for 3–5 year olds in Medway, performing arts classes for young children, or a fun new club to help your child grow in confidence, the Little Academy at Medway Academy of Performing Arts (MAPA) could be the perfect place to start.


September is a fantastic time for children to try something new. A new school year brings fresh routines, new friendships and exciting opportunities. For younger children, joining a creative club like MAPA can help them develop independence, confidence and social skills in a warm, nurturing environment.


At MAPA, children aged 3–18 take part in weekly Singing, Dancing and Acting classes, taught by experienced, industry-trained professionals. Our youngest students are introduced to performing arts in a fun, friendly and age-appropriate way, helping them discover the joy of movement, music, imagination and play.


Why September Is a Brilliant Time to Join MAPA


After the summer break, children often benefit from routine, structure and regular activities that give them something exciting to look forward to each week. Starting a new club in September helps children settle into the new school year, meet new friends and build confidence from the very beginning.


For children aged 3–5, performing arts can be especially powerful. Through Singing, Dancing and Acting-based activities, children learn how to listen, take turns, follow instructions, work with others and express themselves creatively.


MAPA helps young children:

  • Build confidence and independence

  • Improve social and communication skills

  • Learn teamwork and sharing

  • Develop creativity and imagination

  • Make new friends

  • Grow comfortable taking part in group activities


For many children, MAPA becomes one of the highlights of their week.


Weekly Singing, Dancing and Acting Classes


MAPA offers weekly performing arts classes across three locations in Medway and Kent:


  • MAPA Chatham - Wednesdays, 5pm–8pm, Waterfront UTC, Chatham

  • MAPA Rainham - Saturdays, 10am–1pm, The Howard School, Rainham

  • MAPA Faversham - Saturdays, 10am–1pm, The Abbey School, Faversham


Students take part in three specialist classes each week in Singing, Dancing and Acting, helping them build strong foundations in performing arts while having fun.


For parents looking for Performing Arts classes in Medway, Dance classes in Medway, Singing classes for children, Drama classes in Kent, or Musical Theatre classes in Medway, MAPA offers a supportive and exciting place for children to learn and grow.


A Gentle Introduction to Performing Arts


The Little Academy is designed to give younger children a positive first experience of performing arts. Children do not need any previous experience — they simply need enthusiasm and a willingness to join in.


Our experienced, industry-trained teachers understand how to support young children and help them feel safe, welcomed and encouraged. Sessions are playful, creative and engaging, while also helping children develop important early skills such as confidence, listening, focus and cooperation.


At this age, performing arts is not about pressure. It is about enjoyment, imagination and helping children discover what they are capable of.


Performance Opportunities and the MAPA Family


As children grow through MAPA, they have the opportunity to take part in exciting performance experiences including our Summer Showcase, Christmas Showcase and, when they are older, MAPA’s Summer Youth Musical.


These opportunities help children develop confidence and a sense of achievement while becoming part of the wider MAPA family.


MAPA is more than a weekly class. It is a place where children make friends, feel supported and build memories that last.
