Arabesque School of Performing Arts​

"Inspiring creativity and building confidence whilst nurturing our students to grow and excel in a caring family environment"

Cynthia Ryder, Principal of Arabesque School of Performing Arts

A Warm Welcome to Arabesque

Welcome to Arabesque, where every child is celebrated just as they are!

From the moment your child walks through our doors, they become part of one big, happy family. They'll be greeted by friendly faces and encouraged by teachers who care about them. Week by week, you'll see their confidence grow.

Whether your child simply loves to dance for fun or dreams of one day performing on the big stage, they'll find a place here. They'll learn new skills, make friends for life and have the magical experience of performing on stage. They'll also feel the pride that comes from achieving something they never thought they could.

For 35 years, it's been my joy to watch thousands of children grow and shine at Arabesque. I can't wait to welcome yours.

Come and join us for a trial class. We'd love to meet you!

Making Memories and Fulfilling Dreams

Cynthia Ryder

Principal

Thank you for visiting our website to see what we have to offer; we hope that you find what you are looking for but should you need further assistance please don’t hesitate to contact us.

At Arabesque School of Performing Arts, our mission is to create a nurturing, inspiring and professional environment where every child is encouraged to

Dream, Believe, Create, Inspire and Perform.

We believe the performing arts are about so much more than learning to dance, sing or act. They build confidence, creativity, resilience, friendships and memories that can last a lifetime.

We encourage our students to dream big, believe in themselves and their abilities, create with imagination and individuality, inspire and support those around them, and perform with confidence, passion and joy.

At Arabesque, every child’s journey is unique. Whether they come simply for the love of performing, to make friends and have fun, or with ambitions of a future in the performing arts, we are committed to nurturing their potential, celebrating their achievements and helping them become the very best version of themselves.

Above all, Arabesque is a family — a place where children feel valued, supported

and encouraged to make memories and fulfil their dreams.
