A fun, English-speaking stage school for ages 6–18

LIPAA is a friendly, weekend performing arts academy in Ljubljana. We provide a space for children and teenagers (6–18 years) to learn Acting, Singing, and Dancing and confidently Perform in a supportive, English-speaking international environment.

We believe that Performing Arts should be for everyone. Whether your child is naturally outgoing or needs a little help building their confidence, our doors are open. By teaching in English, we help our students gain a valuable life skill while they have fun, make new friends, and experience the thrill of being on stage. At LIPAA, we aren't just teaching steps and scripts, we’re helping kids grow into confident, happy young people.

Throughout the year our students will also have the opportunity to take part in showcases and performances, celebrating their progress and experiencing the excitement of performing in front of an audience. We are also introducing workshops led by industry professionals, including actors, dancers, choreographers and performers from film, theatre and television. This will giving students the chance to learn from experienced creatives and gain insight into the wider world of the Performing Arts.
