Welcome to Empire Performing Arts
At Empire Performing Arts, we believe in a holistic learning environment that recognises the passion, needs and talents of each and every student. We aspire to nurture each child's love of dance and through this enhance their sense of self respect and empowerment. Each student is supported to achieve personal goals, underpinned by technical dance quality.
With continual investment in our knowledge, teaching skills, the performing arts and child learning processes, our teaching staff strategically develop their expertise to give the students and parents of Empire Performing Arts the best training and experiences possible.
Through education, creativity and passion, we hope to inspire our students to embrace the gifts that performing arts training provides and to encourage them to carry these positive attributes with them for the rest of their lives.
“Empire Performing Arts is a studio where young dancers are encouraged and inspired. It has a non-competitive, highly professional atmosphere where every student is valued. The teachers are experienced, friendly and professional. They maintain a wonderful balance of discipline, fun and self-confidence.”
