WHY WE DO IT

We passionately believe that children and young people need to be in the right environment conducive to their own needs to have the best and most impactful learning experiences. That is why we use dance as a medium to teach life-long transferable skills. We use dance as a segway into broader life education.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 great coaching can encourage ambition and help children & young people see and achieve success.Due to our ethos, values and success, we have been featured in Forbes and won many awards.

WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO US

OUR VALUES

A friendly, non-judgmental family like environment – every child and young person should feel comfortable and at home when participating in our lessons. The Aim Sky High Company want to be enjoyable.

Always try your hardest – every participant should be motivated to do their best, and the most that The Aim Sky High Company can ever expect of a participant or young person is to always try their hardest. We believe this work ethic will be beneficial to the children and young people throughout their lives.

Aim Sky High – every participant should have the opportunity to dream and have someone to help guide him or her in the direction to help that dream become reality.

HOW WE PLAN TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD

OUR VISION

It’s quite simple. Not every dream has to be global. We enjoy being localised, and we value quality over quantity. As a Trafford based business, we want to remain within our borough to serve the community that made us, creating as much social impact as possible. We will continue to host satellite provisions in different areas within Greater Manchester. We use social media to showcase our work to the world and hope to inspire others to further to mission to make the arts accessible to all.

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.

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, so we work hard to break as many barriers as possible to ensure that we make this happen. We do this by keeping our pricing accessible by providing several 100% scholarships and discounts up to 85% for those that are eligible. We are a limited by guarantee legal entity, meaning our profits are reinvested into the business. As a business, social value is paramount, so we make every effort to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals where possible.
