About us


All of our classes take place at Pineapple Dance Studios, Covent Garden in the heart of London. Our Principal, Maggie Paterson, a teacher at the studios for over 25 years, opened the Performing Arts School in the building in September 1998. Every Sunday since then the studios have buzzed with the energy of 350 energetic students singing, dancing and acting.

We accept students from the age of three, "Pineapple Chunks" The remainder of the school is
divided into junior students aged five-twelve years, senior students aged thirteen to seventeen years
and adults students, for anyone regardless of experience, aged eighteen plus. For more detailed information on the various age groups, please see our Courses Information Section.

We strongly believe that not only have these courses had a massive impact towards the training of children, teenagers and adults, but that we have introduced a unique style and approach to dance
and theatre studies.
