Welcome to PQA Dubai. At the Pauline Quirke Academy (PQA) Dubai, we are proud to deliver high-quality performing arts education that empowers children and young people to grow in confidence, creativity, and character. Proudly KHDA-registered, PQA Dubai brings over 20 years of experience in high quality performing arts education to the heart of the UAE.
Since we opened our first UK academy in 2007 we have offered training drama, comedy and filmmaking as well traditional story telling through song and dance. Our project based learning approach means that our young performers and filmmakers learn a variety of skills hands-on. From performing popular musicals to telling their own stories on film, each term gives the chance to learn something new. Our teaching team is supportive and encouraging, making each session fun.
Our Main Academy classes for 6-18 year-olds are broken down into three age groups, so each child is working at a level that suits them. And for younger children aged 4 to 6, we have our special Poppets classes, a fantastic introduction to the joy of performing.
It’s because we’re different that we encourage all new starters to come along for a two week trial. We’re sure you will be won over by our warm and welcoming classes, run by professional, caring teachers.
