About West End Theatre Academy 

West End Theatre Academy is where passion meets professionalism. Our teaching team are active West End and TV performers — people who are living the career your child might dream of — and they bring that expertise, energy, and encouragement into every class.

​

Locations, Classes, Ages, Ability 

Based across Worthing, Horsham, and Billingshurst, we offer weekly acting, singing, and dance classes for children (from age 4+), teenagers, and young adults. Boys and girls are welcome at every level — no experience needed, no audition required.

​

Every Student Benefits From Our Classes 

We welcome students with varying goals and ambitions. Varying goals include:

  • For the love of it — drama, dance, and singing classes as a hobby, purely for fun and enjoyment

  • For confidence — growing in self-belief, both on stage and in everyday life

  • For a career — serious training towards a professional future in the performing arts

​

Why We Would Love To Welcome You 

Whether you're looking for acting, singing or dance classes in Worthing, Horsham or Billingshurst — whatever brings you through our doors, we'll nurture your individual journey every step of the way.
