From After School Arts to West End Academy to Rockstar Academy Dubai — A Journey of Creative Growth

Rockstar Academy Dubai represents the third chapter in a long-standing passion for performing arts education.

The journey began when CEO Kane Andrews, at just 18 years old, founded After School Arts — an initiative designed to give underprivileged children access to performing arts opportunities. The second venture, West End Academy, brought the standard of London’s West End to regional communities through a franchised model.

Now, with Rockstar Academy Dubai, Kane continues this legacy of creativity, empowerment, and opportunity. The Academy is committed to providing world-class performing arts experiences for children in Dubai — combining structure, inspiration, and joy through its Musical Theatre, Rock Concert, and Film Media syllabus.

This evolution reflects a lifelong dedication to performance education — a mission to inspire confidence, expression, and excellence in every student.
