Welcome to the Edge.

Notice : Dance Teachers wanted!
Please could any dance teachers/students come forward for one off workshops in all types of dance. We want to vary the styles of performing arts as much as possible at The Edge, so if you think you have a particular style that has The Edge contact us!

Welcome to the Edge Performing Arts Academy where we want to realise your child's potential - for life! Whether your child is 3 or 16, outgoing or shy, there is something for everyone at The Edge:

Drama - great for building self confidence, encouraging creativity and helping communication;

Dance - wonderful for self expression, poise and fitness;

Singing - good for vocal development and a powerful emotional outlet.

We have classes for young people from 3 to 16, in the following age ranges:

3-7 years (otherwise known as Little Steps),
8-12 years and 13-16 years.

In order for you to make a decision about whether The Edge is right for your child, we offer a FREE introductory session at both our schools in Bideford and Barnstaple.

Our students perform regularly and will be involved in staging a major production annually. We also give end of term reports and plan to hold graded exams in the future.

Just take a look at our website for more information, and contact us to book your child's FREE introductory session!
