Ethos

At Valour, we instill creativity, confidence, and artistry in every young performer. We believe that through dedication, discipline, and passion, students don’t just grow in skill—they transform. Our training nurtures individuality, encourages self-belief, and shapes performers who are not only technically strong but also expressive, versatile, and fearless in their craft.

Here we believe in the power of balance—where strength meets humility, and passion meets grace.


Strength
The foundation of our training we understand that strength is more than just physical—it’s about building resilience, discipline, and self-belief. This programme is designed for dedicated performers who are ready to take their training further, refining their technique, endurance, and artistry in a focused, high-level environment.

Unlike regular dance classes, Valour offers an intensive training programme with industry-leading choreographers & the regular Studio 59 teaching team, helping students develop the power, versatility, and confidence to achieve more than they ever thought possible. Whether your goal is a professional career, earning a place at a top performing arts college or developing further artistically, we’ll help each young performer grow ready for their next step in Performing Arts



Humility.

We believe that true greatness lies in the ability to remain humble, open-minded, and receptive to continuous learning. We encourage our dancers to approach each class, rehearsal, and performance with a sense of humility, valuing feedback, and embracing the opportunity to refine their skills.

In our academy, we foster a supportive and collaborative environment that promotes teamwork and camaraderie. We encourage our dancers to uplift and inspire one another, recognizing that each individual's success contributes to the collective growth of our dance community. Collaboration, respect, and empathy are the pillars that strengthen our bonds as dancers and as individuals.

We view dance & performing as a transformative journey, not just a destination. We value personal growth and believe that the pursuit of excellence extends beyond the dance studio. We nurture the holistic development of our dancers, emphasizing self-awareness, self-expression, and self-reflection. We strive to instil confidence, discipline, and a strong work ethic that will serve them not only in their dance careers but throughout their lives.


Valour believes that true artistry emerges from balance. We are dedicated to providing an exceptional dance education that empowers our dancers to push their boundaries, embrace their vulnerabilities, and ultimately, become well-rounded individuals who inspire through their artistry and character.

What will I learn at the Academy?

At Valour, our goal is to help young performers build confidence, creativity, and discipline—both in and out of the studio. Through intensive training, expert mentorship, and real industry insight, you’ll develop not only your technique but also the mindset and work ethic needed for a future in the performing arts.

    From Ballet, Jazz & Commercial through to Hip-Hop, Acro and Lyrical, you'll be taught by the best in the industry.
  • Acting Development
    We'll help to develop your acting, performance and musical theatre skills, your stage presence, projection, voice and most of all confidence!
  • Vocal & singing skills
    Hone your vocal & singing skills in a friendly environment, to prepare you for the big stage!
  • Multi-skill work
    Being a performer requires a comprehensive set of skills and you want to know the right ones to be constantly working in between your big contracts/jobs.
  • Nutrition
    At Valour, we believe food is fuel—providing the energy, strength, and focus needed to perform at your best. We educate and support young performers in developing a healthy and balanced approach to nutrition, helping them understand how to nourish their bodies in a way that promotes both physical and mental well-being. Our focus is on positivity, sustainability, and self-care, ensuring that every student feels strong, confident, and supported in their training journey.
  • Fitness & Conditioning
    We believe in building a strong, healthy body that can support you for the long haul in dance and life. Our conditioning sessions focus on enhancing flexibility, strength, and endurance—all while making sure you’re looking after your body so you can continue performing injury-free for years to come. It's about nurturing your body to help you stay fit, strong, and ready to take on any challenge—without the pressure.
  • Self Confidence
    We believe in helping young performers grow into confident individuals who are proud of who they are.

  • Mindfulness, Finances, Psychology and Stillness
    Mindfulness might seem like a buzzword, but it’s an essential tool for learning how to stay calm and focused, especially when life gets busy or stressful. We teach our performers how to take a step back when things get overwhelming, giving them the ability to stay grounded during high-pressure moments, whether that’s in training or in life. We also emphasize the importance of smart money management, helping our students learn how to save and invest in their growth as they take on the responsibilities of adulthood.
