What We Do & How We Do It

Aim Sky High provides dance, drama and singing tuition to children and young people aged 2-25 years old. We used the arts as a tool to teach life- long transferable skills such as leadership, teamwork, career planning, goal setting and many more whilst having fun.

Level 1 - Open Classes

This is for those who want to dip their feet in the arts. We provide fun, energetic and educational open classes. We deliver Physical Education lessons, lunchtime and afterschool clubs for schools. We also deliver open evening and weekend classes in dance, drama and singing.

Level 2 - Academies

These are a fresh take on stage schools and academies. This is for those who have a strong interest in the performing arts. The academies run for 1.5 hours per week for 4-6 year olds and 2 hours per week for 7-18 year olds. Participants enjoy one singing, drama and dance.

Level 3 - Performing Arts School

Our performing arts school is high intensity, with children and young people attending a minimum of 9 hours per week to participate in drama, singing, ballet and streetdance. They train and perform nationally and internationally on a regular basis. Participants are currently North-West, UK and European Streetdance champions. This service is only available in our hometown of Stretford.

Level 4 - Corporate Project Management

We provide bespoke arts project management services to youth provision providers. We advise and help different organisations to build an arts based project. Our recent clients include Playfactore and Trafford Council.

Level 5 - Charity Work

We fulfil charitable requests by providing performances, sessional tuition and online tuition videos in order to help increase accessibility to the performing arts.

Why We Do It

We passionately believe that children and young people need to be in the right environment conducive to positive emotional, physical and mental development.

Dance and the performing arts are a way to express feelings in a non-verbal way and release feel good chemicals called endorphins, reducing stress, anxiety and low moods all whilst keeping fit!

We love working with children and young people and believe that the right environment is instrumental to encourage ambition and see success.

Due to our ethos, values and success we have been awarded ‘Inspiring Youth’ Award by Social Enterprise UK, The Duke of York Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2016 and a Social for Social Enterprise 2016 Fellow.

What Makes Us A Social Enterprise

(What Good We Do For The World)

Here at Aim Sky High, accessibility to the arts is extremely important to us and we therefore endeavour to break as many barriers as possible to ensure that we make this happen.

We do this in several ways:

Scholarships

We partner with many of our clients and other businesses to offer full or partial scholarships to a select number of students in order to reduce the financial barrier to our services that some children, young people and families may experience.

Charity Events

Our Performing Arts School do select voluntary performances for charity events across the UK

Partnerships

We partner with charities abroad to produce tutorial videos for those who may not have access to professional dance teachers. We create routines, video them and upload them online.

Funding

We frequently offer fully funded sessions.

Accessibility

We purposefully situate many of our classes in underprivileged and deprived areas in order to increase accessibility to the arts.

Equal Opportunities

We aim to increase our number of sessions aimed at working with children and young people with disabilities, providing more opportunities for disabled youth.
