Weekly Classes

Early Stages (for ages 4-6 yrs) & Early Stages Plus (for ages 6-7 yrs)

Stagecoach Early Stages
Early Stages and Early Stages Plus classes are spaces where children are encouraged to set their imaginations free as they explore singing, dancing and acting as a group. Our Early Stages classes are for ages 4-6 and are 90 minutes a week, and Early Stages Plus is for those aged 6-7 and act as a two-hour weekly bridging class ahead of students progressing into Main Stages classes (more on those below). 

Main Stages (for ages 6-18 yrs)

Stagecoach Main Stages
Main Stages classes are split in three age appropriate groups, where young people learn new skills in each of the complementary Musical Theatre disciplines of singing, dancing & drama. We nurture the shy and apprehensive, until they find their feet and voice, whilst at the same time developing and channelling those with bundles of talent, confidence and energy. We believe in the potential of every child!

(3 hrs each week)

Further Stages (for ages 15+ yrs)

Stagecoach Further Stages
Our advanced musical theatre sessions give talented students the chance to extend their performance skills.  Through in-depth training and master classes, we help students to hone their skills in singing, dancing and acting.  We also give students the confidence to audition for theatre and vocational drama schools (if that is their goal) and make sure they are well prepared for interviews and auditions. 

Fees in accordance with Main Stages.
