Stagecoach Battersea and Balham

Children and teens flourish while improving their singing, dancing and drama skills during our weekly Main Stages performing arts classes. Our Main Stages students are aged six to 18 year-olds (split by age into smaller groups) and class activities vary week by week, meaning no Stagecoach session is the same! Students are encouraged to build and grow their skills as individuals and also work as a team with the rest of their class to create performances that parents/guardians are welcome to watch. At Main Stages level, our students’ performing arts education covers: • Singing skills such as singing in harmony and composing their own melody lines • Dancing skills such as building a dance sequence and technique and devising own choreography • Acting skills such as developing character and working with scripts, plots and context of a story • Learning how to sing, dance and act is not the only way our students benefit. They also: • Build their confidence • Make new friends • Explore their creativity and expand their imagination • Build key life skills such as communication, reflective thinking skills, teamwork and resilience

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.
