Our Mission
At Kate McWilliam School of Movement, we believe movement is a powerful way for children and teens to express themselves, build confidence, and grow both physically and emotionally. Our mission is to nurture young movers in an environment that champions kindness, creativity, respect, determination, and community.
Our values
These core values guide everything we do:
Kindness: We foster a warm, supportive space where every student feels valued and encouraged.
Creativity: Our classes inspire imagination and personal expression through acrobatics, dance, and circus arts.
Respect: We teach students to honor themselves, each other, and the art of movement.
Determination: We encourage perseverance and a growth mindset, celebrating effort and progress at every level.
Community: We build strong connections among students, families, instructors and the wider community creating a welcoming and inclusive school family.
Through this foundation, students develop not only technical skills but also confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
