As performers growing up in the North we wanted to change the amount of opportunities available especially when it came to working with Industry Professionals and so, NPS was born.
Having taught in many performing arts establishments throughout the North, we wanted to create a space where those who were pursuing a career in the performing arts could gain the knowledge and skills needed, bridging the gap between their weekly dance, singing and acting classes and the industry.
We are still actively working in the industry which allows us to keep our Squad updated with the latest information and techniques ready for when they need.
Our aim is to best prepare you mentally, physically and honestly with all the knowledge you need moving forward in the professional industry. Whether that be through our Associates programme, Summer Opportunities or Management we want to push you out of your comfort zone and cultivate a growth mindset to best prepare you for professional work.
With the help of our industry professionals we are able to deliver the very best sessions to our Squad. We only work with the best who not only can share their skills and knowledge but also passion for their craft, widening our Squads horizons of possible pathways in the industry.

Jessica also has SENCO training as she works alongside vulnerable children and often uses the arts to build self-esteem and communication skills which also creates equal opportunities for all children and young adults.

We believe that the performing arts is for everyone. If we can help you to fully access and be included in our sessions, taking into consideration any additional needs, please let us know. Do not hesitate to get in touch via email/phone to discuss how we can support you or your young performer.
