From the age of 3 we have our " Pre-School Creative Movement class" which introduces young children to dance and movement in a fun and friendly environment and encourages natural coordination, there is clear progression route from this class to the other dance classes taught at EMPAS. Ballet fundamentals are essential to mastering lines and body placement in different genres of dance.
At EMPAS we currently do exams in Ballet, Modern/Contemporary, Theatre Craft, Tap, Freestyle and Musical Theatre with the IDTA examination board. We hold approximately 4 exam sessions a year within our own studios at Newburn Old Town Hall and we always help pupils towards the successes they want, we have an excellent pass rate as well as very high marks across all subjects at all levels.
We believe there are many things to consider whilst choosing the right dance school for your child. You can join EMPAS by using the enquiry form on our contact page or by e-mail, phone or Facebook/Instagram. You will be told in advance which studio and teacher your class will be with, but if you have not please ask a teacher or student helper or one of our friendly parents.
Please park respectively and do not park outside the houses of local residents, especially right in front of their doors /garage doors. Also please do not block the driveway into our house. Please can I ask all customers of EMPAS to park in the public bays at the side or at the front of the building (not in the bus stop).

Such an amazing dance school. Elaine Milbourne caters to all ages & abilities, with lots of dance styles to choose from. Every child gets the opportunity of doing shows and competitions - no one is left out. I couldn’t have chosen a better school for my daughter; she loves her EMPAS dance family; we both do.
