The WTA Mission Aim, Aspire, Achieve

Aim

WTA fosters a welcoming environment which stimulates and encourages students in the learning process. We believe that each student is unique; they are valued and respected and given the opportunity to progress in their chosen art form, developing self-worth and a positive self-image whatever their ability.

Aspire

Although the main aim of WTA is to introduce children to the joys and benefits of the performing arts we also provide serious technical and performance training for students who are considering a career in the theatre or teaching.

It is our belief that whether you require a single class in any given dance genre or more in-depth training we have something to offer everyone.

Achieve

All dance classes are taught with a sense of fun and enjoyment whilst at the same time encouraging every pupil to reach their full potential whatever their ability.
