Our primary goal is to progress and develop the standard of recreational dance teaching while providing a positive and holistic learning experience that is truly unrivalled throughout the world. We believe that dance education should be a journey of joy and self-discovery, and with ATAP, we can ensure just that!
One of the key aspects that sets ATAP apart is its focus on valuing the process of learning over the end product. We understand that dance is not just about perfecting technique and routines; it is a form of expression that fosters growth and self-confidence. Our unique training program emphasizes the importance of enjoying every step of the learning process, making each lesson a celebration of movement and creativity.

Our teachers and students alike value and enjoy dance education, training, and the process of learning. With ATAP, we provide the platform for both teachers and students to develop a genuine love and appreciation for dance at a young age.
Moreover, our training program incorporates the core values of The Royal Ballet School. These values include dedication, discipline, passion, and respect, all of which are integral to fostering a nurturing and supportive environment for our students. By instilling these values within our students, we aim to develop not only their technical proficiency but also their character and personal growth.
