We are based at the beautiful studios at Ratton School
For many years now, Ratton School has had the reputation of being THE school for children who want to enjoy singing,dancing, acting or being involved in Performing Arts. It is as an extension of this that RAPA was started.
RAPA offers training in all genres of Dance including ISTD Ballet, Tap & Modern, Contemporary, Jazz, Hip hop and Adult classes. We also offer Drama, Musical Theatre and Singing!
The Rattonians have been in existence for over 25 years and in that time literally hundreds of young people have been involved in the experience of putting on a show in one of Eastbourne’s professional theatres. Since the formation of the Rattonian Youth Group in 2006, we have
extended that opportunity to students as young as seven. “The Ratton Academy of Performing Arts” will give not only these youngsters, but people of all ages in the Eastbourne area, the chance to develop their interests and skills in a wide variety of areas of the Performing Arts. These will mainly take place at Ratton School and will usually be after
school hours, evenings and weekends. Sessions will be organised by ability, interest and, in some cases, by age, catering for ages 4-74!

The Trapdoor Theatre School, which is already based at Ratton forms the Musical Theatre branch of the Academy and is run by Debbie Hackett and Alex Adams .The school will celebrate 10 years of providing the best local training in 2016.
As with The Rattonians, the aim of The Academy will be to involve people in activities which develop the person, their confidence, their ability to work with and for other people, and their love of the Arts.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and if you want to know whether there is something in The Academy that you could be
involved in, the answer is “YES”!
