Weekly classes in dance, singing and drama at Stagecoach Performing Arts build confidence and creates wonderful friendships.
Stagecoach Performing Arts offers fun, friendly and inclusive classes in singing, dancing and acting for children aged 4 to 18. The school believes in adaptable teaching to suit your child's individual journey, whether that’s exploring new skills, taking on advanced challenges or building confidence alongside an enthusiastically supportive team of like-minded students and inspirational teachers.
Their aim is to nurture and develop young potential, stretching imaginations and building confidence as students and teachers work together to create a school where everyone celebrates being themselves.
Each week Stagecoachers get stuck into dance, drama and singing classes with the creative teachers. In dance, the school develops the foundation skills in musical theatre with the youngest age groups, right up to full blown musical numbers with the upper age groups that include singing and acting, to give an all-round performance that students can be proud of.
Stagecoach is all about working as a team to support one another in creating magical musical theatre as well as encouraging pupils to take big leaps forward in their own classroom journeys. In singing, children explore different genres, create wonderful sounds with harmonies and choral work, sing solo and have opportunities for ideas and staging too – it’s a real team effort.
And then there’s drama, where Stagecoachers just love being a bit bonkers! They get into character, embrace improvisation exercises, trust one another and relish the outcome. The drama classes are always so full of laughter and smiles as the team lets their imaginations run wild!
Here's what some Stagecoach grown-ups had to say about the classes:
"You guys are absolutely brilliant and go above and beyond. Our girls love Stagecoach and are always buzzing about it afterwards ... thank you for all you do."
"You guys really have helped [our daughter] with her confidence. Before Stagecoach she hardly ever spoke out in class at school and now she is confident enough to. We have seen her improve dramatically this year".
Stagecoach holds weekly classes on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during term times in Gloucester, Cheltenham and Cirencester with two-week trials available for new students to find out what the school is all about. All Stagecoach schools are Ofsted Registered and accept childcare vouchers and tax-free payments. With direct debit plans available to spread fees over the year, there are options to suit everyone.
