ABOUT
At Believe Academy our highly-skilled, dedicated personnel share their love and expertise for all things performance arts, with children and adults alike.
The Academy was created due to our family’s love and passion for Dance, Acting and Singing, learning to express yourself through these mediums and, ultimately, believing in yourself. This mantra is what we try and instil in every single individual who performs with ‘Believe Academy’.
Situated in Penzance, Cornwall, our practice includes multiple dance classes, events and workshops, ranging from contemporary dance to hip-hop street dancing. Our methods and teaching style will help nurture your raw talent and help you exceed in the dreams that you desire and ‘Believe’ in.
