Over the 11-week course, you will work with Stage & the City’s Musical Director Jack Holliday and choreographer Rebecca Dyer who will guide you through a selection of musical theatre numbers, working on the essential components of musical theatre. Sign up for our Winter Term and be part of the Stage & the City Annual Charity Showcase raising money for children with or affected by cancer to attend our children’s school for much needed fun and respite. Your course fees for the winter term also include one free ticket to the showcase, you just need to let us know the name of your guest!

We understand you may be a bit nervous if this is your first time, but classes are taught in a fun and supportive environment. Most of the singing and dancing will be done as a group but there are opportunities for solos! For those that have already completed an Introduction course with Stage & the City, or an alternative elsewhere, we suggest you look at our Musical Theatre Beginners course  which takes place on a Wednesday evening.
