Join EMTA Theatre Academy for musical theatre, acting, singing and dance classes for ages 7–18 in Mill Hill, North London. Build confidence, technique and stage experience with us.
Discover what makes EMTA Theatre Academy special from the perspective of our wonderful students:
Every new student starts with a free trial class. Classes are capped at 16, and all EMTA staff are DBS-checked.
At EMTA, our teachers bring professional experience from theatre, television, dance, singing and musical theatre into the rehearsal room. We combine professional standards with supportive, age-appropriate teaching, giving every student the opportunity to develop at their own pace while learning the discipline and technique required of a performer.
Great performers need more than one skill. At EMTA we give students the opportunity to train across acting, singing and dance while developing confidence, creativity and stagecraft.
