Building Confidence and Life Skills Through Performing Arts

While parents often search for dance classes in Medway, drama classes in Kent, or singing lessons for children, what makes MAPA unique is the way performing arts training helps children develop important life skills.

Students in the Junior Academy learn:

✔ Confidence and self-belief

✔ Teamwork and collaboration

✔ Social and communication skills

✔ Creativity and imagination

✔ Discipline and focus

✔ Performance and stage skills

These skills help children grow not only as performers but also as individuals. Many parents find that their child becomes more confident in school, presentations and social situations after joining performing arts classes.

Exciting Performance Opportunities

At MAPA, performance is at the heart of what we do. Junior Academy students work towards two exciting performances each year:

🌟 Summer Showcase 🌟 Christmas Showcase

These productions allow students to experience performing on stage in front of a live audience, showcasing everything they have learned throughout the year. Taking part in these performances helps children develop stage confidence, teamwork and a sense of achievement that lasts long after the curtain closes.

Opportunities to Perform in a Full Musical Production

For students aged 10 and above, there is also the exciting opportunity to audition for MAPA’s annual Summer Youth Musical.

This large-scale production gives young performers the chance to rehearse and perform in a full musical theatre show, working alongside talented peers from across Medway and Kent.

It is an unforgettable experience for students who want to develop their performing arts skills and experience what it is like to be part of a professional theatre production.
