MONITORING STUDENTS PROGRESS

PERSONAL HEALTH

A typical day at PPA includes several Dance classes and physical workshops, so body maintenance is a must. We offer a health plan scheme with Prudential Health which we strongly advise students to join for the duration of their training. PPA actively promotes a healthy attitude to body and mind, with an aim to creating performers that are confident within their talent and don’t feel the need to conform to industry stereotypes.
