Thank you for adding us to your research list and a very warm welcome to our home.
Our story begins in 2009 when I founded Emil Dale Academy with 100 flyers, 22 part time students and a small rented primary school hall in Hitchin.
I believed there was a need for genuine (not just in a prospectus), all-round triple threat musical theatre training, with high contact hours, realistic year groups sizes, and where student experience would be at the forefront of everything.
From its inception, I decided we would only offer all-round triple threat musical theatre training, with no other courses in any other disciplines. Every student on every Emil Dale Academy full-time course would get a private weekly singing lesson for all three terms of the year. We would concentrate on going above and beyond in everything we would do and now the results really do speak for themselves!
Today we train people from all over the world (I still pinch myself); we have incredible student progression and are recognised as a new, progressive, inclusive, and outstanding training institution with one focus: all round training.
There are so many amazing places to train at in the UK and I am honoured that you are considering us to help guide you towards a successful future in the performing arts industry.
To put it simply, we are big enough to count but small enough to care. We take singing as seriously as acting as seriously as dancing, so if you are serious about all-round triple threat musical theatre training, then seriously consider us.
I really hope you find the right college for you.
