Underpinning all that we do are the fundamental principles  of knowledge, artistry, technique & enthusiasm. First & foremost we  are here to foster the love of dance, enabling all those that attend to  grow in self-confidence, co-ordination & natural rhythm. This provides  students with the chance to develop as dancers; our small classes  also ensure each student receives intensive training incorporating physical, mental and social well-being support. 

Aspirations School of Dance (ASD) based in Sussex, primarily offers  classical ballet training for students from 5 to 19 years old. This is  supplemented by a cohesive program of Acrobatic Arts, International  Dance Technique, Stretch, Tap, LAMDA, and Musical Theatre together  with Anatomy and Physiology to give the dancers of today the tools  they will need to succeed for tomorrow. 

The school also hosts a  comprehensive pre-school dance curriculum for the under-fives that  affords a perfect transition into graded classes. 

ASD has four distinct parts: Our Pre-School (TOTS Program), Lower, Middle and Upper school. Although these transitions are based upon perceived standard, the school in the main runs very much as one; a ‘Dance Family’ with the seniors supporting the lower school and full inclusivity across all age groups at show time. Seniors, who are seriously considering a professional  career in the arts have the option to receive training that will progress them onto  Vocational Programs, Full-Time Classical Academies, and or Tertiary  education Pedagogy Degrees. From thirteen years some students will  also be offered to undertake a three-year teaching assistant qualification which will put  them in good stead for whatever path they choose. 

Founded in 2011, Aspirations has its own bespoke studios in Henfield. We are  privileged to have alliances with several vocational colleges and a wealth of  associate schemes to supplement our curriculum and give performance  opportunities to our students.
