About Uplift Performing Arts
Performing arts classes from one of Northern Ireland's leading schools
Uplift is a performing arts company that strives to teach the highest quality of performing arts in Northern Ireland whilst maintaining a massive degree of fun.
Our aim is to help students and cast members with confidence and self-esteem by using the three main disciplines of performing arts (Dance, Vocals and Stagecraft).
Please feel free to come and visit us during any of our classes throughout the week! If you require any additional information please do not hesitate in contacting a member of our friendly staff.
Since opening its doors, Uplift has seen a great deal of interest from the local community towards the arts. Every week our talented students come to participate in three specific classes. These include Dance, Voice and Stagecraft. Please have a look at What We Do for further information.
Uplift's objective is to help the youth of the community, by filling a niche in the market, with Performing Arts... Uplift strives to be a cornerstone for the local community.
The purpose of Uplift Performing Arts is to encourage each student to pursue their dreams, increase self-confidence and self-esteem, and to explore their artistic talents through a creative outlet in a positive learning environment.
Our website offers you more insight to our workshops and events, and also enables you to download our Information Pack, Child Protection Policy and our General Information Sheet.
CLASSES
- Dance Class
- Voice Class
- Stagecraft Class
- Private Lessons
We cover all varieties of dance. These consist of Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Modern, Hip-hop and many more. In each class we teach you how to warm up your body correctly so as not to hurt yourself, you also learn how to stretch and cool down.
Our students enjoy the friendly learning environment and the positive teaching styles of our dance instructors.
WORKSHOPS
Not only do we hold classes in our own facilities, we also have the ability to come to you! We tailor our workshops to what you need. If you would like a drumming workshop, we can do that. Or if you would prefer a class that focuses on all three major areas of the arts, music, dancing and drama then we can do that too!
In our most classic style of workshop, we would come to you and on our first day we would get a feel for how the students work and what they are comfortable with. This usually happens by warming up with an easy stretching segment and then a vocal warm-up followed by a session of improvisational games.
Depending on the reaction the students give us in each area of performance we gain helpful insight into what music or dances would best suit each group.
These workshops are always different depending on the age and amount of students we have. We are also open to helping organizations with team building workshops.
We currently work in a number of schools around the East Antrim area and every summer we run workshops in the USA.

The best thing that ever happened to our daughter. Uplift have given her confidence and opportunities she would never have had otherwise. Amy, Ryan and the team really care about the kids and encourage them to shine!

My daughter has attended uplift performing arts for nearly 3 years now. I have watched her blossom from the shy child who hid behind the crowd on stage to having the confidence to to stand upfront and sing by herself. Ryan and Amy and all of the uplift team are brilliant with the kids and always try to give each child the chance to shine whatever their abilities are. My daughter really enjoys going each week. I would recommend uplift to anyone as i have seen first hand the positive experience it has been for my child.

My daughter has been attending uplift for 2 years. Uplift has helped boost her confidence, self esteem, developed friendships while having fun. She had taken part in many different shows. My son also took part in the summer group and really enjoyed it. Uplift is a fantastic organisation for young people wanting to build friendships while having fun and developing new skills of dance, voice and stagecraft.
