The TPA has recently moved into a new state of the art world class dance facility with seven spacious purpose-built studios with professional sound systems and sprung floors; an in-house theatre performance space (soon to come); academic classrooms; Pilates/gym & physiotherapy facilities.
We offer our students unique performance and audition opportunities throughout the year.
