Drama & Performing Arts in Leeds

If your child fancies treading the boards, Leeds has a couple of solid options close to the centre. Razzamataz Theatre Schools Leeds sits about 4 km out and runs weekly dance, drama and singing classes for ages 0 to 18, with a free taster session so you can see if it clicks before signing up properly. Closer in, around 1 km from the centre, IPM Acting Academy focuses on screen acting for ages 5 and up, with weekly group classes and private one-to-one coaching from £15 a session. For younger children or a first go at performing, the free taster at Razzamataz takes the pressure off. If your child is set on acting for camera rather than stage, or wants more personal attention, IPM's one-to-one coaching is the one to book, though it costs more per session than a group class. Both need booking ahead rather than turning up on the day.
