About
Student wellbeing comes first—beyond performance, beyond results.
Originally founded in 2011, our school entered a bold new chapter in 2025 with a rebrand that reflected a deeper truth: dance is not just about results—it’s about nurturing the whole person. At Aspirations Performing Arts, we place student wellbeing, personal growth, and creative expression at the heart of everything we do.
While we remain renowned for our exemplary classical ballet training for students aged 5 to 19, our curriculum continues to evolve. We offer a cohesive program that includes Acrobatic Arts, Jazz, Stretch, Contemporary, Tap, LAMDA, Musical Theatre, and Anatomy & Physiology—ensuring our dancers are equipped with the tools they need to thrive both on and beyond the stage.
For our youngest dancers, our 'tots' curriculum provides a joyful and mindful introduction to movement, offering a seamless transition into our graded Ofqual regulated classes.
Based in the beautiful Victorian Hall at The Old School, Cuckfield, we are proud to collaborate with leading vocational colleges and welcome a diverse range of guest teachers. These partnerships enrich our students’ experience and open doors to meaningful performance opportunities as they grow.

Testimonials
The heart of Aspirations, in their own words
After Miss Amanda's injury we moved onto another dance school that we felt would suit our needs. It was a competitive dance school. We are so glad that 'Miss A accepted us back' the genuine care she has for her students is second to none.
Mrs P , Cuckfield
We recently joined Aspirations. Miss Amanda's' knowledge about dance, anatomy and injuries is extraordinary. My daughter has hypermobility...I only wish we found the school sooner.
Vicky's Mummy
My daughter was taught by Miss Amanda for over 8 years. Miss A is extremely conscious of how children are and gets to know each individual within her dance school. The level of support and guidance found by Miss A would be hard to find elsewhere.
E Fenwick, Henfield
Wow, Miss Amanda took my daughter for a classical ballet trial. It was the first time I had ever see her dance like that. Miss Amanda explained why and how to do things... the results within an hour were unbelievable.
