Learning to dance can add so much to your life, whether it's just to have fun or to make a career of it. Dance is an uplifting experience that not only frees your self-expression it makes you look and feel fantastic too.
Dance plays a major role in StageCoach's syllabus and all students in our main schools enjoy an hours dance class every week.
At StageCoach we pride ourselves on offering a fully rounded theatrical education and we emphasize the significance of acting and singing, as well as dance, as a vital part of your child's coaching.
Quite a few of our young students who are hoping for a career in dance also take 'stand alone' kids dance classes. These, together with StageCoach classes, give great variety and are to be commended.
Kids can start at StageCoach from just four years old. We have 'Early Stages' classes that offer 30 minutes of dance classes as well as 60 minutes of drama and singing. The benefits of starting at this early age are enormous this is why StageCoach 'Early Stages' classes have enjoyed such popularity around the world.
How your child can benefit from a kids dance class:
- It increases self-control - a fundamental discipline for life
- It stimulates a feeling of self-worth and accomplishment
- It encourages good posture, balance, co-ordination and spatial awareness
- It is a brilliant aerobic exercise that is good for the heart muscles, aids circulation and develops muscle tones

No surprises then, that our kids dance classes enjoy worldwide popularity.
Once more boys are showing an interest in dance. Cultural trends such as Street dance, Hip-hop and Break dancing have motivated young boys to investigate dance. The film Billy Elliot has gone a long way to make ballet 'cool' again for boys.
Over the course of a school year StageCoach dance classes include a wide variety of dance styles. In addition to ballet and tap there is also modern jazz and street dance, as well as national dance styles and routines from past times. Throughout the term we also spend time nurturing our students own creative expression.
Kid's dance classes provide a stimulating extra-curricular activity. Combined with classes in acting and singing your child will learn key skills that will last a lifetime.
