AE PERFORMING ARTS ACADEMY

AE ALUMNI –

We’re incredibly lucky to watch our dancers grow from their first steps in our studio to the moment they spread their wings and move on to professional training. Seeing our students accepted into further education to pursue dance is one of the greatest joys of what we do. While it’s never easy to see them leave, we’re bursting with pride every time they take that next big leap. No matter where their journey takes them, we’re always cheering them on — loudly, lovingly and forever.

“Dance more, Worry less!”

We are endlessly proud of our incredible alumni who are now thriving in their training at professional dance colleges, living their best lives and dancing their hearts out every single day. Watching them grow, chase their dreams, and step confidently into the next chapter of their journey fills us with so much joy. There will always be space for them here at AE—this will forever be their dance home. We miss them more than they know, but we cheer them on from afar with all our hearts, and nothing makes us happier than when they come back to visit and share their stories with us.

In quiet halls where music plays,
We watch them grow through all their days
From timid steps and hopeful eyes,
To dancers reaching for the skies.

With every class, they learn to soar,
To trust their feet, their strength, their core;
Their rhythm builds, their spirits rise,
A story written through their strides.

The years go by, their futures call,
They stand up strong, they give their all;
And when they leave to chase what’s true,
We beam with pride at all they do.

For though they dance on distant stage,
Their journey started on this page—
And in each triumph they achieve,
We’re cheering loud, and never leave.

Throwback to one of our first TikToks with our seniors back in 2022!

We absolutely love cheering on our dancers from afar as they chase new opportunities and shine in their own journeys, but nothing makes us happier than when they come back to visit. We feel so lucky that so many of our former students return to the academy — whether it’s to pop in for a chat, dance in the studio that shaped them, or even stay and teach the next generation. Their presence reminds us just how special our AE family truly is.
