The Performance Academy was founded in April 2012 by current Principal, Laura Maguire. Her vision is to provide the highest standard of training in dancing, singing and acting and we are extremely proud of our reputation.

Ecco was founded in 1992 by Amanda Horne. It began in a church hall in Ecclesfield with dance classes in ballet, tap and freestyle. Ecco moved to the Burton Street Project in 1995 and quickly expanded running dance classes every day. In the 16 years at Burton Street Ecco trained many Freestyle & Rock n Roll champions, had children perform in productions at the Lyceum and Crucible. Many pupils have gone on to have a career in the dance industry.
