Welcome to LIPA 4:19 Part-Time Academy
In September 2003 we launched LIPA 4:19: a part-time performing arts academy for 4 to 19 year olds.
What a success it is has been – we have over 450 students who attend LIPA 4:19 every week and we have been blessed with a huge pool of talent from around the North. The atmosphere at LIPA 4:19 is magical – there’s a real buzz in the air.
Due to its popularity, we opened a new satellite school at Maghull High School in September 2008.
Learn to sing, dance and act
The arts and entertainment industry needs multi-disciplined all-round performers, and LIPA 4:19 is designed to make you just that. Here you learn to sing, dance and act with fully qualified and enthusiastic tutors, who all have professional experience.
All classes are carefully designed to reflect the correct stage of performing arts development for each age group, from young children through to teenagers.
Performance skills
Developing performing arts skills helps develop confidence and presentation skills. It stimulates the imagination and creativity. Best of all, it’s fun and it’s a great way to meet new friends.
Being based at the world-famous Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, LIPA 4:19 also offers fantastic facilities for the students and a safe and encouraging learning environment.
We are very proud of all our LIPA 4:19 students and it is tremendously rewarding for us to see our students blossom and progress.
