In 2011 Hollywood Performing Arts was founded by Principle Holly Penny. The School opened in Swanley with only 35 students, but word spread quickly of the fantastic work Hollywood Performing Arts were displaying and so the School expanded to three new locations ; Dartford, Crayford and Gravesend. All four Schools are now thriving with exceptional talent; this has enabled Hollywood PA to create our very own free Children’s Talent Agency “Hollywood PA Agency” in 2018, directed by Debi Li Smart. The School continues to grow from strength to strength and in 2016 we introduced our Academy. This allows students to focus their training on individual aspects of dance with our highly talented and specialised teachers.
