Napa is such a warm and welcoming school. It not only teaches the pupils performing arts and dance skills it is also a community. My son has been attending Napa for 10 years now and he still loves it. The teachers are so supportive and encouraging and I can't thank them enough for all that they have done for my son, it's our extended family.
Fantastic place. My whole family go from my mum , my husband and my daughter. They welcome people with disabilities, and they work so you are included, I'm a part time wheelchair user or I'm on my crutches , use my wheelchair for musical theatre and tap and my crutches for acting.
My girls, aged 13 and 3, both get so much out of attending classes at NAPA, and as a parent I am so grateful that they have such a positive, supportive and safe environment to learn new skills and make new friends! The quality of the productions they have been part of is just outstanding and I look forward to watching every time. Keep doing what you are doing team NAPA!!
My daughter attends NAPA for dance classes and from the minute she stepped into the beautiful building she was made to feel so welcome and it's 100% her happy place, the energy and atmosphere in the building is heart warming. The teachers encourage the children in a very positive way and my child's confidence has flourished whilst attending NAPA Everything from dance shows and competitions are well organised and a joy to watch, thank you!
My son Sam has been going to NAPA from age 4, he's 17 next week and loves every minute of being there. He calls it his second home. He's made some fantastic friends and all the staff are awesome, it's just like a big family. He loves it so much he has just started the full time 2 year course. Definitely recommend it to anyone
