ounded by Catherine Mahon-Buckley twenty years ago, CADA Performing Arts is an acknowledged centre of excellence for Drama, Dance and Musical Theatre Studies.


Discovery of your own strengths and weakness is a challenging experience. We all have particular abilities in certain areas and success can only be achieved through self-awareness and by developing an individual artistry that is uniquely your own.


The Academy programmes are committed to your needs, an approach which is reflected in the dedication and expertise of our staff, a stimulating, creative ethos and the provision of a quality studio environment. Our aim is to enable our students to identify, develop and nurture their own skills, perfecting a professional attitude, an inner confidence, self esteem and team skills with which our students can flourish.


The Academy aims to provide the broadest possible training, giving each student individual attention to enable them to graduate with professional confidence and most important to have fun while achieving their full potential.


The main emphasis of the course concentrates on practical training in a range of drama, dance, singing and music and theatre studies subjects and takes place in a specially designed and built spacious studio complex which opened in 2004.
