The school was established in 1980 by Elaine Milbourne as the Elaine Milbourne Theatre Dance School, the schools development to offer a broader range of Performing Arts subjects has resulted in a change of name and location.

Other facilities include a refreshment station, with fresh bean to cup coffee and a variety of snacks available.
Since the schools inception we have always been actively involved in the community appearing at events, fetes and local shows. We participate in an annual Dance Competition, TDCI Championships (with previous British Junior & Senior Ballet winners) and have performed in theatres across all regions as well as at Disneyland Paris and Her Majesty’s Theatre in London.
Pupils are guided and coached to audition for shows and events externally, such as local pantomimes, professional shows and operatic societies, and we have fantastic success stories.
We have had a EMPAS student crowned “Miss Dance of Great Britain” and currently have various students working professionally around the world.
Throughout the year we enter hundreds of candidates with the I.D.T.A. (International Dance Theatres Association) for exams at all levels and we have an enviable reputation and excellent success rate.
Pupils are nominated regularly for the I.D.T.A. Theatre Awards, and we have had previous winners in 2013, 2015 and 2017 and 2020 as well as numerous commendations in all subjects throughout the years, see our achievements page for more information!
What makes our school different is that it offers such a vast range of subjects for students of all abilities and ages, there is something for everyone whether they want to go onto a professional career or just come along and enjoy a class.
Students at EMPAS are able to train to teaching level and go on to full time performer’s college, our students have been successful in gaining places and scholarships at English National Ballet School, Bird College of Dance, Tring Park School for Performing Arts, Laine Theatre Arts and Phil Winston’s Theatreworks. We also have pupils on Associate programmes at Royal Ballet, Northern Ballet, Hammond, SLP, Tap Attack, Denman and Renaissance Arts.
The range of subjects and the success our students is testament to the students themselves and the quality of the teaching enabling each student to develop their own individuality.
Ballet is the foundation of all other technical dance styles. Ballet dance emphasises proper body alignment, technique, poise, and balance.
Intermediate Ballet classes are offered by Morningside Dance Academy. Our classes are taught by our qualified and highly commited expert teaching staff who strive to inspire our students to achieve outstanding exam results.
These classes are open to all adults, of all shapes and sizes, who would like to "have a go" at ballet but have never had the opportunity before, or novice dancers who have not danced for many years.
Ballet is the foundation of all dance; the building blocks of a dancer’s strength, flexibility and balance. At Performers, we understand how taking ballet instills self confidence, self discipline, poise and grace.
Ballet truly is the core and provides the necessary foundation that is needed to be successful in every other form of dance. Ballet teaches poise, grace, discipline, correct posture flexibility, and strength.
