Stagecoach Harpenden

A very big welcome to Stagecoach Harpenden! We believe that the whole world is a stage and the skills children learn at Stagecoach Harpenden will help them at school, university and in their future careers. We provide children with the opportunity to participate in all three performing arts disciplines - singing, dancing and acting - helping to develop confidence, physical awareness, communication and articulation, as well as being educational, safe and lots of fun.

Weekly Classes

Early Stages (for ages 4-6 yrs)

Stagecoach Early Stages
Early Stages classes run alongside the main Stagecoach schools, where young people learn skills in each of the three Musical Theatre disciplines of singing, dancing & drama, so it is an easy step when it is time to transfer to the next stage.

(90 minutes each week)

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!
