"KSA was an incredible year and one I would recommend to all. The course pays individual attention to each student and provides care and guidance through its experienced tutors. Dance, Singing and Acting are all taught in an intimate, structured day that you can't wait to get back to the next morning! The course provides many public performances and mock-auditions and therefore prepares you for the industry whilst keeping your passion alive. I personally owe a lot to KSA and hope everyone else who attends has the same amazing experience as I did!"

"KSA helped to really make it clear that I wanted to be in the Performing Industry - With a course specifically dedicated to working with other people who are just as passionate about performing as you are, with staff who are dedicated to passing on their knowledge & experience and most of all, a supportive environment that allowed me to grow and gain the confidence I needed to audition. The showcase allowed me to gain interest from a top agent. None of this would have been possible without KSA Performing Arts"

"KSA was the best choice I ever made. The biggest thing it did for me was build my confidence alongside preparing me for the scary industry. The course is tailored to each student with individual attention, support and one on one sessions. There is such a great working atmosphere at KSA, where everyone pulls together and you want to work hard to succeed. The performance opportunities are brilliant and if it wasn't for the final showcase I would never have got an agent and therefore, would never have got that first professional job that brought me into the industry. Such a fantastic place to train, I would highly recommend it!"

"My time at KSA provided me with the drive and confidence to throw myself into the industry. With the three core subjects of Dance, Acting and Singing each day I saw myself improve tremendously in all three subjects. As the classes are small, individual attention is given to every pupil and all areas of performing are addressed in order to make you as rounded a performer as possible. I have no doubt that I would not be in the place I am today if it wasn't for KSA and its tutors"

As well as preparation, the small nature of the course brings you all closer like a 'second home."

"KSA was the making of me - it helped me to learn to believe in myself and gave me the drive and determination I needed to succeed (no matter what the industry). The friends I made and what the tutors taught me will always be an invaluable asset. KSA has the support that aspiring performers need and I would recommend it without hesitation - especially to performers who have the talent but who’s confidence has been knocked by other individuals or institutions. I believe KSA has a long and successful future ahead."

"KSA is a great place to go if you are thinking of training in Musical Theatre. I did a 1 year intensive course, where the teachers are working professionals, so you get sound advice from people who are already in the industry. All together the teachers and course director are like a fountain of knowledge, with a great library of songs and monologues to equip you for when you enter the big wide world. They are also extremely supportive. I had previously worked professionally before starting the course, but I feel so grateful for everything that KSA has taught me that I would recommend doing this course to anyone! My only advice to future students would be, soak it up like a sponge, and I'm sure you will succeed."
