Telford Academy of Performing Arts in short
Telford Academy of Performing Arts is an Oakengates academy running performing-arts classes for children and adults, led by a principal with three decades of teaching, dance-teaching qualifications and a professional performing career.

The record shows performing-arts classes for children and adults at every level, from dancing for fun through to career-track training. Dance Diploma and Teaching Associate qualifications stand behind the teaching. The academy teaches from Oxford Street in central Oakengates, with email and phone bookings published for Telford families.
Reviews show five stars on Google from twenty-two ratings, seen at the start of September: a solid record for a neighbourhood academy. The principal's long teaching and stage career sits behind the score. Only a general affordable claim stands where prices should be, which the reviews cannot fill.
Our judgement: Telford Academy of Performing Arts suits families wanting performing-arts classes nearby with an experienced principal behind them. The principal's cruise-industry career adds professional stage mileage to the teaching. Oakengates households gain a local stage school without the drive across town. What counts against it is price clarity: no fee amounts appear beyond the affordable claim, and no insurance details are published.
