My son joined SA Castings in June 2023 & as a family we really feel supported.

There are a wide range of opportunities, advice if we’re unsure & Lou is amazingly supportive.

Would absolutely recommend! My son has met great young people who are like-minded & talented which nurture and inspire him x

I can’t recommend SA Performing Arts highly enough. My two boys have been training at SA since the ages of 5 and 7, and have had the best experience. They receive high quality teaching in dance, drama and singing in the most nurturing of environments. Both boys have excelled in all three areas, and have had the opportunity to take on additional dance classes in ballet and tap. Their confidence has improved generally in all aspects of life. They have also been signed to the casting part of SA ‘SA castings’ and have had multiple tapes, auditions, and work through SA Castings, but without huge pressure on them. A bit shout out to Lou, Lucy and the whole team at SA!

My youngest daughter has been attending SA Performing Arts stage school since she was 3 years old, & my eldest daughter attended from the age of 5 to 15. I honestly cannot recommend it highly enough. Both of my girls have benefitted from some fantastic experiences over the years, working with amazing teachers & industry professionals, & taking part in countless productions. They have both made some lovely friends, & I have always felt that there is a really positive atmosphere, & that all children are supported & encouraged to showcase their talents. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else. I only wish there had been somewhere like it around when I was younger. It is a truly amazing place.

My daughter has been attending SA Performing Arts for nearly a couple of years now. Having been to other stage schools in the past, she is always enthusiastic to attend and thoroughly enjoys herself in every class. The Zoom calls during lockdown have been fantastic and have really given her something to look forward to each week and the shows she has been part of have been amazing. I highly recommend!

A brilliant performing arts theatre with talented and experienced staff. I've put my children in a few performing arts centre before and this is definitely the best one. The children love learning here a lot. The teachers make them feel loved, happy and they learn a lot too.

My son has attended SA Performing arts since he was 7 and he's 14 now! It is the highlight of his week - amazing staff, the summer shows held at the People's theatres are incredible , and in terms of developing vital social skills and great self confidence you will find nowhere better. Simply brilliant!

An amazing place for any child who loves to perform. From little ones learning to dance to full time students who want to be the future stars on stage or tv, S A Performing Arts will bring the very best out of them. I’m so pleased we sent our girls, they absolutely love it and both want to continue full time. So to Lucy, Lou, all the teachers and mammy and daddy Sage thank you very very much xx
