Despite being open for just 15 months, KPA has already welcomed more than 120 students through its doors – an impressive milestone for the flourishing performing arts school.
Offering a wide range of classes, the academy provides training in dance and musical theatre for students as young as 18 months in its popular toddler dance programme, right through to a brand-new adult choir launching this January.
Ballet, tap, jazz, singing lessons, and pop singing group classes round out an exciting and inclusive timetable.
KPA’s Principal, Devan Kellett, founded the academy with a clear vision: to inspire young performers by sharing her professional experience and deep passion for teaching.
Her dedication has helped shape a nurturing, dynamic environment where students can explore their creativity and grow in confidence.
This year’s showcase, Get On Your Feet, promises to be a vibrant celebration of the hard work and talent of KPA’s students.
Families, friends, and community members are invited to join the audience for what is set to be an energetic and heartwarming weekend of entertainment. Tickets are available online or directly from the YMCA.
With the new year approaching, Kellett’s Performing Arts is gearing up to welcome even more budding performers.
Those interested in joining can find further details at www.kellettsperformingarts.com or on social media @kellettsperformingarts.
Some classes already have limited availability, so early sign-up is encouraged.
Whether you’re taking your very first step into the world of performing arts or looking to continue your journey, KPA is ready to help you get on your feet and shine.
