OUR STORY
In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can...
​
MV Academy opened its doors in September 2016 with a handful of classes on a Saturday morning, we’ve continued to grow and evolve over the years - so much so that we now help to train and mentor over 200 pupils in Richmond and the surrounding areas. Our first performance as an Academy took place at the Indigo O2 in December of 2016, we continued to offer our students as many performance opportunities as we possibly could - from full scale musicals and dance shows to local platforms such as Richdance and Ignite Dance.
OUR ETHOS
We believe that with positivity, dedication and the right coaching all children are capable of achieving outstanding results in Performing Arts.
We encourage a growth mindset and teach our students that with the right practise and training - all goals are within your reach. Students are taught that daily incremental improvements can add up to become extremely impressive results over time.
We encourage big dreams, but celebrate every little win on the journey.
OUR PRINCIPAL
Our principal Hannah founded MV to create an academy in which all students can flourish. What sets MV apart from many performing arts schools is that we offer outstanding classes from a young age right through to when students leave for college or university, creating a family environment amongst our pupils and the option to progress with the same friends and teachers over the years.
MV students are all taught to have high standards for themselves and to aspire to be constantly improving both as performers and individuals. The confidence, courage, sense of responsibility, self discipline and new friendships will enhance the life of every MV pupil - and those who would like to attend performing arts training at a drama school or dance college will have all the tools they need to gain a place and enter the industry.
