Like many performing arts centres Middleton Popstars Academy offers its students singing lessons, dance lessons as well as opportunties in makeup, drama, costume design and media. However unlike most performing arts centres Middleton Popstars Academy is a non for profit community group open to all no matter of ability or disability. We strive to bring unity in the community by offering opportunities to all, encouraging integration between different age groups, ethnicities and social backgrounds.
The manager is the person who began this dream along side a much missed lady, Grace McKnwen, and the academy has now been established for ten years. Popstars has brought structure and stability to many children and young adults and hope to continue to do so for many years to come.
Some of the youth have been here since the beginning, starting when they were 11 years old. They have been a big part in setting up the youth forum. Now 21 years old they play a big part in running Popstars and working closely with the younger members. The secretary first came along with her child that no one else would take because of his condition but she and her son are still here.
We believe that every child should be given the same opportunities to succeed. We are welcoming to all and believe that all children and youth feel that this is their place of comfort, a place that they can call their own.
