How a studentgrows here
Every art follows the same three steps, whether the student is four or forty.
01Discover
Start with a trial class in any art. Meet the teacher, get a feel for the class, and ask whatever you like. The teacher then suggests the right batch for the student's age and level.
02Learn
Weekly classes in small batches, with practice set between sessions. Parents hear how things are going, not just at the end of the term.
03Perform
Each term builds to a showcase on a real stage, in front of family and friends. It is the moment every class has been working towards.
About us
A child who loves to sing shouldn't have to wait for the annual day to be heard.
My Arts was set up to give every student proper teaching, steady practice and a real stage to perform on.
Classical and contemporary arts are taught side by side, so a Bharatanatyam student can pick up the drums and a karate student can join the drama club. Nobody has to choose just one.
Seventeen arts, one address
Try something new without a new academy, a new commute or a new timetable.
A stage every term
Each term ends with a showcase, so practice always leads somewhere.
Teachers who perform
Every class is led by a trained practitioner of that art.
Small batches
Teachers know each student by name and follow their progress closely.
