About
Welcome to Stagecoach Eastbourne! We have been providing high quality part-time training in the performing arts for children of 4 to 18 years of age for over 20 years. Every student, every week, spends time in each of the 3 disciplines; dance, drama and singing -- working with highly trained staff and industry professionals. Children really do learn skills for life at Stagecoach Eastbourne -- confidence, stamina, resilience, vocal projection, articulation and communication skills. Our classes are a LOT of fun and are the perfect way to nurture a child’s imagination.
Over the years we have seen more than one million students unlock their potential, which is something they will value for their whole life.
At Stagecoach we teach our students so much more than how to sing, dance and act. We help them blossom into well-rounded individuals, ready to embrace life and all its opportunities.
With 30 years’ experience in teaching the performing arts, we understand how to get the best out of our young performers. We delight in seeing our students have fun, make friends, learn new skills and discover hidden talents.
We encourage them to take ‘safe risks’ through rehearsals and performance, which brings out a willingness to take on new challenges. None of us know what the future holds, which is why it’s so important for today’s children to be resilient, brave and self-assured.
Furthermore you can rest assured that your child is in safe hands as we adhere to the strictest child safety policies.
We’re sure you will feel proud of your child’s accomplishments and we wish you an exciting and happy learning experience the Stagecoach family.
