What Dancers Say About Millennium Performing Arts College

4.4/5 from 7 Google reviews.

On Saturday 28th May I had the pleasure of attending the graduate showcase of the Millennium Arts final year students. Also performing were The Jazz Core company, comprising of original and continuing Millennium Arts students.

The Rudolf Steiner theatre is a gorgeous, intimate venue that was perfectly suited to the evenings performance. Even from the back of the auditorium I had a great view of the performers and could really see their emotions and expressions. The simple, and in the case of The Night Mail piece in particular, very clever staging allowed the performers to stand out and not be— Lisa Castle

Our Son has only been at MPA for 4 weeks and we are impressed with his great improvement already. He has learnt so much from Ikky and all the staff and with the very small groups it gives the students so much individual attention, Ikky is very welcoming.
Our son is looking forward to the rest of his course.— Jemma Angel

My daughter trained here, and absolutely loved every minute, they prepared her for the performing industry and she is now successfully performing on a uk and European tour.— Marlene Duniam

I want to mention that the teachers and staff really appreciate and Millennium
College is a great place to study— Camelia Suruceanu
