OUR HOUSE IS YOUR HOUSE

Welcome to House of Wingz, a creative home for dancers, skaters, music-makers, and free spirits of all ages. Rooted in the heart of Blackpool, we’re more than just a studio, we’re a community, a cultural movement, a House.

From street dance (beginner to advanced), to a free-access skate park, recording studio, and open creative spaces, everything we do is about connection, expression, and community.

We write and produce original Hip Hop dance theatre shows, bringing powerful stories to the stage through movement, music, and art.

We host events that bring Blackpool's unique culture to life. The Style Assembly, Rock the Coast dance battles, and Cultivating Roots: a celebration of Black excellence.

Through our charity, Skool of Street, we work with people of all ages to open doors to arts & creativity, personal expression and community connection.

At House of Wingz, you’re part of the tribe.
Step in and make it yours.

SKOOL
OF STREET

Skool of Street is a registered charity dedicated to making arts and culture accessible to everyone in Blackpool.

We believe creativity is powerful, it connects us, heals us and helps us to grow. It improves communication, strengthens mental health and builds confidence. Through art people find new ways to see themselves and the world around them.

Our mission is to create spaces where all people feel safe, seen and inspired. We run a wide range of creative programmes for both children and adults from dance, music and songwriting to creative writing, skateboarding, sewing, food and conversation.

At the heart of everything we do is a belief in community and expression. Because when people come together through creativity and community spirit, Blackpool is a more hopeful, and vibrant place to live and work.

THIS IS HOW

This is HOW is our youth leadership programme, a space where young creatives grow into confident, compassionate leaders.

These young people are not just shaping their own futures they are playing a part in shifting the story of Blackpool. They inspire others to feel proud of where they are from, helping younger children feel more positive, motivated and full of possibility.

Through their leadership, they are helping House of wingz to challenge negative perceptions of our town and build new narratives routed in hope and aspiration.

Since launching in 2015, This is HOW has supported over 30 young people from Blackpool to gain valuable leadership skills, accreditations and experience that stays with them for life.

After two years training with House of Wingz, young people can apply to become part of the programme. With the guidance of a mentor, they develop they leadership practise and begin to deliver practical sessions for children in the community, stepping into roles where they can lead with purpose and care.

Many of our leaders have gone on to work with us at house of Wingz, continuing to build their futures in the creative world, and carrying forward the legacy of what we stand for: community, creativity and the courage to lead.
