We are incredibly proud to share that Moving Waves Academy was a finalist at the What’s On 4 Kids Awards 2024, in the category “Most Loved Music, Dance or Performing Arts Activity.”
The awards ceremony took place on 21st November, and our team travelled to Leicester to attend this wonderful celebration of children’s activities from across the UK. It was an inspiring evening, filled with passionate businesses all working to enrich children’s lives — and we were honoured to be recognised among them.
Being named a finalist is a huge achievement for us and a true reflection of the love, dedication and support from our amazing students, families and teachers.
Moving Waves is proud to be a 5-star rated performing arts company, with consistently positive feedback from parents and carers who see first-hand the impact our classes have on their children across Haringey, Archway and Bounds Green. This recognition, alongside our awards finalist status, reinforces our commitment to delivering high-quality, inspiring and inclusive dance education.
Families often tell us how much their children look forward to class each week — not just to dance, but to feel confident, supported and part of a community where they truly belong.
Our dance classes offer far more than learning steps and routines. At Moving Waves Academy North London, we focus on nurturing the whole child:
Through performance, progression and encouragement, children build confidence that carries into everyday life.
'My daughter loves every single class! I am really impressed how the kids usually have a sweet smile in their faces when dancing on classes or performing on show.' - Flavia, Bounds Green Academy Parent
Dance helps children develop teamwork, communication and resilience while forming lasting friendships in a positive, supportive environment.
'My son loves his street dance classes. He enjoys learning the routines, making friends and performing in a show gave him a huge confidence boost. Plus the team are lovely and helpful - highly recommend.'- Francesca, Bounds Green Academy Parent
From Ballet and Contemporary to Street Dance, Acro and Musical Theatre, our classes allow children to explore different styles and discover what they love most.
'We couldn’t be happier with our experience at moving waves ! My daughter has been attending classes here for 5 years now and the growth we’ve seen—both technically and personally—has been incredible. The instructors are not only highly skilled professionals, but also kind, patient, and truly passionate about what they do. Special Thank you to Tina 😊'- Paola, Archway Academy Parent.
Dance gives children the freedom to express themselves, tell stories through movement and develop their imagination — skills that benefit them well beyond the studio.
'My daughter goes to one of their ballet classes and she absolutely loves it. She is quite little, the youngest in the class, so can get tired, but they are very accommodating and keep her engaged and participating for the whole hour. She has lots of fun and looks forward to her classes every week. I've had staff members contact me to check in and make sure she is happy and enquired whether I had any questions. I would definitely recommend these classes' - Freya, Haringey Academy Parent
Attending the awards ceremony in Leicester was a proud moment for our team, but this achievement belongs to our entire Moving Waves community. Thank you to our dedicated teachers, our wonderful students, and the families who trust us week after week.
Being finalists at the What’s On 4 Kids Awards motivates us to continue delivering exceptional dance and performing arts experiences for children across North London.
