StageCoach is unique in that we give equal emphasis to the three main performance disciplines of dance, drama and singing. Your child, therefore, participate in classes based on those skills. The result is a well-rounded confident student who moves well and communicates clearly. StageCoach classes not only teach your child skills for the stage, they will teach lessons for life! Students are grouped together by age: Junior School - 6 & 7 year olds (Your child must be six by August 31st.) Main School - 8 to 16 year olds: Stage 1 - ages 8 & 9; Stage 2 - ages 10 & 11; Stage 3 - ages 12 & over. (Your child must be eight by August 31st.) Junior School students follow the same structure as Main School students, however, the schedule and scale of the Junior classes and production is adjusted to keep it age appropriate. Main School students start the day with fun class work that will help them learn about method and technique. They will also be introduced to a hands-on stage-school atmosphere of casting, script reading and staging. As they move through the week there will be technical and dress rehearsals and, of course, a final performance for family and friends. This year we will also have limited places for 'crew' - students looking to help out with lights, costume, etc. |
