Objects and Activities
OUR AIMS
Our objects are as follows:
The advancement of education in the performing arts, and in particular, in dance. (3.1 The Articles.)
The providing and assistance in the provision of facilities for dance and other leisure time occupation for the inhabitants of the London Borough of Ealing and the surrounding areas who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity, or disability, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances, or for the public at large, in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving their conditions of life (3.2)
We achieve our aims by providing a structured environment for young people from all backgrounds to learn all facets of dance. We give high focus to providing quality and ensure this by frequently analysing teaching staff and providing support and training where required. We provide classes for people of all ages from all backgrounds and pride ourselves on being an inclusive training centre. Our classes for children range for ages 12 months to 18 years.
We seek to develop all our students’ skill set and competencies not only in dance but in social understanding and attitudes. We aim to allow each student to fulfill the fullest of their potential, increase in self-confidence and encourage them to contribute in a wider sense to the local community. This allows our students the opportunity to progress and gives them the tools they need to effectively deal with the experience of later life.
We also usually serve a large number of schools across London boroughs including Barnet, Bromley, City of Westminster, Ealing and Islington. This stopped due to the pandemic, as most schools stopped provision of extra-curricular by outside providers. During the following two years, this was resumed in schools in Barnet and Ealing, and we hope to increase this provision further during subsequent years, while the rebuild occurs after the pandemic. We offer services to a number of schools that have a high level of children in poverty. We provide children with the opportunity to dance and often perform publicly. These are children who would otherwise not have these prospects. We aim to maintain very close working relationships with schools to best support the children and provide equal opportunities to all.
The Ealing studio is also supported by an additional full-time studio in North Finchley, which has the benefit of a 10 year lease. This studio also provides classes in the same wide variety of dance forms, and offers training to children from 18 months upwards.

OUR OBJECTIVES
Our objectives are in constant review and updated to ensure they support our organizational aims and the ethos of our charity. These are reviewed at each trustee meeting which are held quarterly. It remains of paramount importance to us that standards remain high and our students achieve their potential. We measure our success by this standard more than any other.
In the setting of these objectives and planning our events the trustees have carefully considered the public benefit and the general guidance on this provided by the charity commission. We have paid particular regard to the public benefit guidance on advancing education. (PB1)
Due to the pandemic, our objectives had to differ considerably to previous years, as the studios needed to be maintained and then re-built when the periods of closure were over, and teaching needed to include online provision. We are very close to having fully re-built student participation numbers to pre-pandemic levels.
-
To fully re-build our presence and ensure we are an active part of both the Ealing & Finchley communities.
-
To adapt teaching in order to successfully provide online provision for all dance styles, so that the facility is in place for students to maintain progression and retain links with their peers and teachers during periods of isolation if required.
-
To ensure students at a financial disadvantage are provided the opportunity to learn to a high standard.
-
To give continuing support to those already receiving financial assistance.
-
To increase the number of children in receipt of financial assistance.
-
To fully re-build our pupil base, so that we are back to our pre-pandemic levels of enrolment within three years of the end of the pandemic. This is very close and we are currently at 95% of pre-pandemic levels.
-
To offer a high standard of appropriate teaching for our pupils with additional needs and work with our partners to ensure this is maintained.
-
To provide at least two performance opportunities per year to each student, with one being in a professional theatre environment.
-
To provide exam provision in RAD Ballet, RAD Tap/Modern and GCSE Dance, and to maintain 100% pass rate.

ETHOS – PROVIDING EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AND SERVING THE COMMUNITY AS A HUB FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS.
We are committed to safeguarding our pupils and take an active role in their welfare. All our staff are expected to share in this challenge and to bring any concerns to their seniors or the appropriate organisation, and to keep safeguarding training updated. We strive to keep parents updated with their children’s curricular and social progress - previously this has been possible through face to face contact, particularly in an established ‘Parents Watch Week’ which take place in class at the end of each term.
We pride ourselves on the safe and fun environment we offer and support this with a zero tolerance bullying policy. There is clearly a risk of injury with activities such as dance. We manage this risk by using a dynamic risk assessment policy to keep up with any changing situation and keeping a strict policy on what activities are permissible in the studios and clear action plans for any possible incidents. To date there has been no significant incident and the trustees do not identify any potential detriment to our service users from partaking in the opportunities we offer.
Online teaching presented a greater risk of injury through the possibility of students dancing on uneven flooring / carpet, and the size of zoom boxes making it harder for teachers to see unsafe practise. On balance, we believe that the harms caused by no provision were greater than these risks, and so risks are minimised through contact with parents to ensure that students had a clear space to dance, and had their cameras on during classes and as well positioned as possible for clear view by teachers. This style of teaching is currently now minimal at the studio, and only offered for students if unwell or for a few students who have moved away from the area, but still wish to train at the studios.
Innovation Dance takes great pride in our inclusive approach to dance and the performing arts. We accept students from all backgrounds to ensure equal opportunities. We work on an individual basis and ensure that we can offer a high standard of education to any prospective pupil. Although some minimum requirements are necessary for many of our studio classes (most of our dance classes require reasonable mobility or at least the prospect thereof) they do not normally have a general standard. A student can remain in a class until they have achieved the required standard before progressing to the next level of difficulty. This normally requires a board exam so that a level of standardisation can be maintained. Any new pupil’s inclusion in a class is assessed to confirm it is not having any detrimental effect on any other pupil’s development.
Our work in schools is less structured and allows us to be more inclusive . We work with and in a number of schools that cater specifically for students with specialised needs. This includes dance classes for young people with extremely low mobility and also for young people with significant mental health issues. We constantly review our work in these schools to ensure it is appropriate and beneficial to the student’s needs. This is achieved with a strong working relationship with the schools and a personal knowledge of each pupil’s needs and conditions. With the funding for many of these centres and schools significantly reduced in recent years we strive to remain affordable for them by obtaining funding where possible and recovering costs from other means. The continuance of these classes is of vital importance to the trustees of the charity. In a number of schools that are struggling to secure ongoing funding, we are working on team teaching with permanent staff members and training them in order that they can continue to teach their students if we can no longer support

the costs from within. Fees are also kept as low as possible for these schools, and are subsidised by the work of the studios.
Innovation Dance Studios Ealing has become a strong part of the Pitshanger Lane community. Within this year we were able to take children to perform at the community events ‘Lighting Up The Lane’ in November 2022, and ‘Party in the Park’ in July 2022. We were also able to run a week long theatre production at Questors Theatre, which is a local professional theatre in Ealing. These activities form a strong part of our ethos. Our trustees are part of the community association and take part in both local fundraising for our own and other local charities, and the organization of local community events, when times allow.
We also ran four performances at The Arts Depot in July 2022 for students at our North Finchley branch, a showcase in their studio theatre for senior students in December 2022, and a community dance event outside on Finchley High Road in June 2022. All events were very warmly received and a great opportunity for our students to return to performances in the way they had experienced prior to the pandemic.
Policies
It is of utmost importance to us that our students are educated in a diverse environment. It is a priority to us that our services are not restricted to those who can afford our fees. In order to facilitate this we have a number of policies (already touched upon) that we have developed.
Payment Plans
Parents of lesser financial means are given the opportunity to pay by different methods. This may be by spreading the costs out in to a monthly amount or paying for individual classes rather than term fees.
Where students from disadvantaged backgrounds are inhibited by financial hardship, these students will be trained without charge, subsidised by the resources of the charity.
Recognising Excellence
Innovation Dance Studios recognises excellence by providing heavily subsidised classes for the most gifted and talented students. To ensure these students can attend the fees are variable. Fees are in no way a barrier to attendance and if required students will be trained without charge.
Family discounts
In order to assist families with more than one child we offer a range of discounts to assist them.
Multiple classes
Especially in dance it is often important that students attend a range of classes. We offer discounts to children who attend multiple classes depending on circumstances.
Jack Petchey Foundation
The studio has been extremely lucky in being chosen as a recipient of an award from the Jack Petchey Foundation, which has enabled us to be able to provide free workshops to students during this year to allow them to train with guest teachers who would normally not be available to them. The funding received from the Foundation has also helped towards covering costume and travel expenses for gifted & talented students attending national competitions, in order to remove financial barriers to these opportunities.

Activities and achievements
Pupil numbers
- We finish this period with pupil numbers signed up to attend the Summer 2022 Term at 95% of our pre-pandemic enrolment period, and aim to use the upcoming year to re-build to 100%. We have set the aim of being back to pre-pandemic enrolment numbers within three years, and we are on track to achieve this.
Public Performance
-
We were able to fully return to public performances this year, which was fantastic for our students. At the Ealing studio, we ran a week long theatre production involving all students at the studio during the summer, and two community events in June and December. At the Finchley studio, we ran a full school theatre production in the summer, a senior students showcase performance in December, and a community event in June.
-
Our gifted and talented students were able to return to competitions fully during this year. Our street dance troupes attended six regional competitions, plus the World Street Dance Championships in the summer. In the regional events, students achieved multiple placings, in team events, solos and duos. At the World Championships, we were delighted for three teams to reach the finals, with one placing 5th and the other two teams placing 6th. One soloist and one duo pair also reached the finals, placing 7th and 5th respectively. Our contemporary troupe attended four competitions, achieving two 1st placings, a 2nd and a 3rd.
-
Community events returned to normal, which was fantastic, and we were able to attend two community events with our Ealing students and one event with our Finchley students.
Measurable Student Progression
-
Examinations all returned to running as normal, with examiners able to come to our studios to conduct in-person exams. Within this year, we ran exams in RAD Ballet, ISTD TAP/Modern and UDO Street Dance. Students in all exam sessions achieved 100% pass rate. We now offer students the opportunity to study GCSE Dance within our studio, allowing them to gain an additional qualification, and to learn the syllabus within a professional dance environment. During this year, the cohort all achieved A-C passes, and as a centre we were ranked within the top 2% of the country results-wise.
-
We have also increased the number of our students who are training towards Grade 6 and above RAD Ballet qualification. This qualification provides UCAS points for those students going in to Further education. We are now starting to see the results of helping our students to gain further education places that would otherwise possibly not have had this opportunity. Innovation Dance is

committed to helping children fulfill their potential and continue their dance training to the highest possible level. We have introduced vocational level ballet training at both the Ealing and Finchley studios, with over twenty-five students studying Intermediate and Intermediate Foundation grades. It is worth noting that the numbers within these classes have remained constant from the start of the pandemic.
- During this period, several pupils were able to gain places at vocational full-time colleges to further their training and work towards a career in dance and performance. During this period, students gained places at Laine Theatre Arts, Urdang, The Brit School, Arts Educational School and Wilks Academy. We wish them the very best with their ongoing training.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Innovation Dance Studios Limited
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Innovation Dance Studios Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
