The People Behind the Magic

Meet the
Verse Arts Team

A talented group of performing arts educators — passionate about helping people of all ages and abilities find their voice, their confidence, and their stage.

Built on a Love for the Arts

Verse Arts was founded by Katie Healy with one simple belief: that performing arts has the power to transform lives. Through drama, singing, dance, and musical theatre, we help students discover their confidence, their voice, and their sense of self.

Since 2014, Verse Arts has grown from a small private teaching practice to a team of passionate educators working across London, Surrey, and Berkshire — delivering high-quality lessons in schools, studios, and online.

We're not just teaching performing arts. We're building skills for life.
