Positivity
At VMA Dance, we are dedicated to cultivating a culture of positivity that extends beyond the dance floor. Embracing body positivity, we celebrate the uniqueness of each individual, fostering a supportive environment where dancers of all shapes and sizes feel valued and confident.
We do have a set uniform for exams and certain classes however we always want our students to feel comfortable in what they are wearing to classes.
Our commitment to mental health awareness is reflected in our holistic approach to dance education, promoting not just physical well-being, but emotional and mental wellness too. We strive to create a space where open conversations about mental health are encouraged, and our instructors are trained to provide guidance and support. By prioritising positivity in every aspect of our classes, we aim to inspire a lasting impact on the overall well-being of our dance community. Join us at VMA Dance, where we dance not only for the joy of movement but also for the well-being of each dancer.
Inclusive
At VMA Dance, inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that dance is for everyone, regardless of ability, and we actively embrace individuals with special educational needs (SEN). Our classes are thoughtfully designed to be inclusive, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and valued. Our experienced instructors adapt teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles and abilities, fostering an environment where every dancer can thrive. We prioritize open communication with parents and guardians to understand and meet the unique needs of each student. At VMA Dance, we celebrate the richness that diversity brings to our community, recognizing that everyone has something special to contribute. Join us for an inclusive dance experience where everyone, including those with SEN, can shine and flourish.
Testimonials
VMA is such a happy, supportive and inclusive dance school. It is a safe space for my teen daughter who sometimes finds life hard to navigate. She has made some of her best friends at VMA and thrives in this vibrant environment.
Dance just seems to ground her and is her happy place, dance allows her to really express herself. Being part of the Elite team has been the icing on the cake - she has had so many opportunities to perform and compete and her confidence has soared.
Vicky and the team go way beyond what you would expect of dance teachers, acting as role models and life coaches! They really get to know each dancer as a person, adjusting their teaching style to their individual needs. It is a totally accepting, non-judgemental school where she can really be herself. Above all, they are kind and understanding. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without VMA Dance. Thank you.
