Kids Activities in Grovedale

Grovedale

Acting Performance Studio (APS) has been coaching screen and stage actors since 2011, with term classes covering screen acting and musical theatre for ages from Prep-Grade 2 right through to teens and adults. Standout offerings include industry-driven teen classes that teach professional self-taping skills, all-abilities and NDIS-friendly acting classes, and hands-on school holiday programs featuring acting, VR and movie-making.

A strong pick for kids who love performing and want a clear pathway toward serious acting skills.
