About aka leaders programme
We have just launched the AKA Leaders Programme for our 13+ year olds. Leaders train with us to become dance teacher assistants, learning how to support classes, inspire younger dancers and hold the standards of the studio.
It is a natural next step for students who love dance and want to share it, and it leads on towards full dance teacher training.

What families say
In their own words
“Absolutely fantastic dance school, my daughter has been there since she was 3 she is now 6 and has had so many opportunities including competitions, shows and this weekend even dancing at The Kings Theatre, London. She has grown from a shy 3 year old to a confident 6 year old. Thoroughly recommend.”
Parent of a Minis student
“We could not recommend Amelia K Academy enough. Our daughter has been with Amelia and her team for five years, and has thrived here. Amelia and her team provide the best atmosphere, a warm environment, amazing opportunities and they allow the children to flourish in the world of performing arts. The academy genuinely feels like a second family to us - if we could give this more than five stars we would!”
