With no entry auditions or previous experience required, whether your child dreams of a career in performing arts or simply wants to make new friends, WOAPA will boost your child’s confidence … and they’ll have loads of fun!

Each week, students attend three, 1-hour sessions of drama, singing and dance classes in Witney.

We promote a positive environment - where students have fun as they celebrate their individuality and achievements.


Working as part of a team, students are encouraged to be creative and value the experience of working closely with others towards a common goal.

Skills are developed and refined, enabling students to become multi-disciplined, all-round performers. For our young performers (aged 4-6) all three elements of singing, dance and drama are combined in a weekly, 1-hour, fun-packed session.

We offer the opportunity for your child to stretch their imagination and nurture their social skills including communication and concentration.

Watch as your child develops…

• Increased confidence 
• Growing self-esteem
• An expanding imagination 
• Creativity 
• Co-ordination AND a whole new set of friends!
