When parents look for kids’ performing arts classes in North London, they’re often thinking about learning dance steps, memorising routines or preparing for shows. At Moving Waves Performing Arts Academy, the steps are only the starting point.
Whether your child joins us in Haringey, Archway or Bounds Green, they’re stepping into a space tailored for the students, to build confidence, creativity and connection. From Ballet and Street Dance to Contemporary Dance, Musical Theatre, Break Dance and Acro Dance, every class offers far more than movement.
Confidence that lasts far beyond the studio
One of the biggest growth areas we see is in confidence. Children who tend to be more shy, quiet or unsure, soon discover their creative voice and communication tools that go beyond language. In after-school clubs and weekend classes, children learn to perform in front of others, speak clearly in Musical Theatre, and take up space proudly in Dance.
Real friendships
We take pride in our community. Each space we hold across Haringey, Archway and Bounds Green, is designed to be welcoming and inclusive. We encourage students to cheer for each other, collaborate on creative tasks, and work as a team. Our students quickly form friendships that continue outside the studio.
Resilience: learning that practice pays off
Children today face a lot of pressure to be instantly 'good'. Our Dance and Drama classes are all about progress over perfection. We welcome making mistakes and trying again. Whether it is their first Ballet positions, A new Street Dance Groove, a Contemporary dance leap, First time singing in front of an audience, we celebrate those little milestones along the way.
Creative self-expression
At every dance class, students get opportunities to develop their own creative voice. They are tasked to freestyle, choreograph, explore characters in their scenes, and to discover different music and styles.
Physical skills & fitness
Of course, there are countless health benefits in taking dance classes, whether is Ballet, Contemporary Dance, Acro, Break or Street Dance. Children develop strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, posture, breathing techniques. These benefits come from our way of conditioning and training that never pushes unrealistic expectations or comparison, with a focus on joy and energy.
Life skills
Stage presence, teamwork, voice projection, memorising lines and choreography, following instructions... These skills are highly transferrable to any walk of life, regardless of what students do in the future.
Ready for your child to grow in confidence, resilience, creativity, and more? We would love to welcome them to our family!
