Gain confidence, stretch imagination, learn skills and HAVE FUN
Stagecoach Main Schools are for young people aged between six and eighteen years, although entry to the schools usually stops at age 16. The school operates for three hours each week during term-time, either after school or at weekends. Split into three groups of similar ages, youngsters gain confidence, self-esteem and learn to express themselves creatively and effectively. These skills, acquired while learning the skills of performance, do not disappear when they come off stage, they are skills for life.All classes are run by professional dance, drama or singing teachers who have been CRB checked and many are currently working in the profession. Stagecoach however is not just for performers, it is also for those who wish simply to enjoy learning to act, sing and dance. The Stagecoach ethos is to enable children to grow, gradually and at their own speed, into effective human beings. At the same time our caring and talented teachers and principals make sure they keep their feet firmly on the ground.
The curriculum is broad to enable students to experience a wide range of styles and skills. The dance class will improve coordination and technique and give the opportunity to learn popular pop dance routines and musical theatre ensemble pieces. In drama, young people will explore their creativity through improvisation and role play, improving vocabulary, social awareness and communication skills. The singing class will introduce students to different rhythms and tempos in music allowing them to challenge themselves with a wide range of songs while improving technique and vocal ability.
Fun is an essential element of any programme and Stagecoach has learned one truth over many years. Children love to achieve and they like to do so in a disciplined environment. At Stagecoach we don't set out to create fun, the students do that for themselves.
