Impact Academy

YOU CAN ACHIEVE EXTRA-ORDINARY THINGS.

For over 25 years, we’ve been helping young people like you to discover their talents and fulfil their potential so they can make a huge difference in the world around them.

We do this through the powerful medium of Hip-Hop dance.

Hip-Hop has been used worldwide for many years to help young people reach incredible goals. Our youth company perform nationally and internationally, so we can show you first-hand just how far movement can take you! (Check out some of the amazing places we’ve performed at by clicking HERE)

Free Hip-Hop Dance Taster

We’re looking for young people age 11-19 to join our academy and are offering a free taster session this September and October. Join us one Saturday for a free dance class, meet new people and discover what it’s like to be part of our academy. Email nia@impactdance.co.uk to reserve your space.

We don’t audition new members, and we’ll always welcome you even if you’ve never danced before. We just need you to bring positive energy and be ready to learn new and empowering skills.

Feel free to attend the sessions with friends (they’ll all need to register too!), or come along by yourself and meet other young people just like you.

It’s helped me with life skills like discipline, accountability, time keeping, determination – the list goes on.

Impact Academy intentionally keeps class sizes small to allow our team to focus on developing each member as an individual. We also work hard to keep our Academy accessible: our fees are on average 75% lower than similar training programmes. We don’t think a financial barrier should prevent young people from dancing, so we’ll do everything we can to help our young people to participate.

WHAT OUR PARENTS SAY…

I think Impact is a really supportive and safe space for any young person who is interested in exploring and improving their dancing. It is more of a community than just a standard dance school.
