welcome to footlights academy east

A professional part time academy and full time agency for children and young people aged 4-16 years of age. In our safe and creative environment we explore, challenge, and stretch our imaginations and develop our skills. At Footlights Academy we believe what we teach empowers our members, releases their individuality and energizes their creativity. The ending of a play is only ever the beginning. Our focus and commitment is based on enhancing your child's education by teaching skills such as acting, dance, and singing which are proven to transfer to their everyday home & school life. Upon the stage you can see your child using english, maths, science and applying those skills practically. Life is art; therefore we should perform it well.
