Early Stages classes run alongside the main Stagecoach schools, for children aged 4-6 years. The Early Stages class is split up into three 30 minute sessions, lasting 90 minutes in total. The class sizes are kept small to enable every child to get the most from the skills learned.

---

Singing class - Children learn to identify where and how sound is formed in their bodies through the singing lessons. They discover the importance of timing and rhythm, improving diction, while learning lyrics to popular and fun songs.

Dance class - In the kids dance classes, motor skills are refined along with balance and coordination. Simple dance moves allow the children to express themselves freely while working in group.

Drama class - Building on the exciting imaginations of young children, the drama classes are full of ideas to take children on the wildest of journeys. Social skills are also learned and young kids gain the tools to enable them to share and be giving. As they grow and develop, children find it easier to express themselves physically and emotionally.

A deposit of £25 will secure your child's place in the class and will allow them to try Stagecoach for the first two weeks. Should you decide to stay for the rest of the term this £25 deposit will be taken out of the fees and the remaining balance to pay will be £143. This can be paid in instalments.
