Our facilities
APPA-NI is based at its newly developed, specialist physical arts centre in Castlereagh, Belfast. The centre is meticulously designed and finished to the highest of standards, with a 14m x 18m dance studio on a Harlequin sprung floor, a 14m x 14m rhythmic floor and a 14.5m x 15m aerial space fitted with silks, ropes, trapeze and lyra.
Working at APPA-NI means joining a specialist physical arts team based in Castlereagh, Belfast, where ballet, jazz, contemporary dance, song and dance, aerial arts, rhythmic gymnastics, and acrobatic tumbling are taught side by side.

The approach to employment is built around an excellent working environment, modern facilities, and a shared commitment to professional standards.

From teaching young children and pre-school participants to working with boys, adults, and learners with disabilities, the academy values a unique, inclusive environment. A welcoming atmosphere helps each student learn at their own pace while gaining strong technical skills across different forms of dance and gymnastics.
Because APPA-NI combines several disciplines, staff can be exposed to varied teaching methods, performance opportunities, and creative challenges. Working across ballet, jazz, aerial arts, rhythmic gymnastics, and acrobatic tumbling requires flexibility, professionalism, and a genuine enthusiasm for physical development, while also supporting opportunities for both artistic growth and the wider academy community.
