Stagecoach Theatre Arts Audition for the Annual Showcase Production 2010

Every year hundreds of StageCoach Theatre Arts students from around the world audition to take part in the Summer showcase production Easy Stages in England. We are delighted to announce that this year, Katherine Wier of the St Paul school in MN and Hugh Perkic of the Vancouver Eastside school have both been selected for the 70-strong cast to perform in a stage production of “My Fair Lady” in England in August 2010. Speak to your local StageCoach Principal about auditioning for next year.
If you're looking for children's dance classes why not consider StageCoach for your child as in addition to dance classes our students also take singing classes and drama classes. As a school of performing arts for children we believe that singing classes and drama lessons complement dancing classes to enable our students to become proficient all round performers.

Unlike most dancing schools StageCoach puts equal emphasis on drama classes and singing classes. In our dancing classes children learn a wide range of styles from jazz, street to modern stage and contemporary. Our dance classes do not include ballet or tap.

StageCoach drama classes also offer a wide variety of subjects including improvisation, mime, characterisation, voice etc. Drama schools will look for this variety of expertise in students auditioning for higher education.

In addition to dance lessons, drama lessons, and singing class, StageCoach students also have the opportunity to take exams in musical theatre. Preparation for these will typically take place as part of dancing lessons and other classes. In addition some StageCoach Schools run a more advanced dancing class (often called a Dance Troupe) for the older students.

StageCoach is not a dance school; it's a performing arts school for children. Many StageCoach students attend dancing classes at other dance schools. These dancing classes may be in ballet or tap dancing, which StageCoach doesn't cover. StageCoach dance classes include jazz, stage, and a variety of other styles.

As in many a kids dance class, warm ups to strengthen, learning steps and working a routine are the normal content. In the same was, other another drama school may provide the same ingredients as StageCoach, but StageCoach offer all these performing arts classes under one roof.

In line with other to drama schools StageCoach has its own agency where children are offered to professional work. Their dance lessons, singing lessons and drama lessons are a vital part of their preparation towards gaining work in performing arts for children.

StageCoach also offers children the chance to perform on the West End Stage. In preparation for this they may need extra dancing classes and drama lessons. Other dance schools pay to appear in independently run shows, but StageCoach runs it's own event for its huge network of performing arts schools for children.

People often wonder how StageCoach manage quality control. This is taken care of by an independent company who train inspectors to assess drama classes, dancing lessons and singing lessons. Each StageCoach school is inspected yearly by an Inspector who will typically spend time watching the dancing class and the other classes. StageCoach believes that parents appreciate these spot checks, which we believe are unique to the StageCoach organisation.

The Early Stages brand caters for children aged 4 - 6. This offers shorter kids dance classes and is very popular. Children love to feel they attend a dance school or drama school and they thoroughly enjoy taking part in performing arts for children.

So whether your child wants children's dance classes or drama lessons you would be wise to consider StageCoach where you can be sure your child is getting a full education in performing arts for children.
