There’s currently two programmes which are offered over 6 months; Performing Arts Basic Programme (PABP) for pupils between the ages of 8 and 12 years and Performing Arts Youth Programme (PAYP) for 13 years and above. Both programmes exposes the students to the world of Singing, Acting & Dancing (Modern Jazz, Hip Hop, Kwaito, Tap Dance, a touch of Latin and many more), and they are modelled around the curriculum set by NAST(USA) and BTEC(UK) to ensure that international quality standards are instilled in the students when furthering their education overseas. The curriculum is uniquely extended to include African Art, a major component that is missing in many performing arts schools internationally!

Her assistant is not new to the world of arts. In his quest for artistic glory, Keutlwile Leso, popularly known a "K', was taken through the paces of Hip Hop & classic Break-dancing, Kwaito, Ballroom and Latin dance styles. This afforded him to showcase his dancing rhythmic styles in Spain, UK, France, Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Greece and Egypt!
