Our classes develop children's musical theatre skills. Each week the students learn age approproate material; poems/scripts/monologues/songs/dances - plus receive technical advice on performance and presentation.
Each student is monitored and assessed regularly to ensure they are working to the correct standard, and that no-one gets left behind. Students gain so much confidence from our classes - we see so many children bloom as they develop with their self-belief, and in determination -and all in a structured environment with our professionally qualified instructors.
We offer complimentary trials for all of our classes, and would love to invite your child along for them to see what we do and how the classes are structured. Our musical theatre classes run every day from Monday-Saturday, during term-time for 4-18 year olds.
Did you know that public Speaking remains the No.1 fear for most adults - can you imagine what that must feel like for a child?
We have seen the most timid of children go on to be the biggest performers, proving that LAMDA and our activities at StageWorks are a great asset to their development as young people; many students have gone on to enjoy very successful careers, all helped by the experiences they have gained from StageWorks and public speaking. LAMDA examinations are accredited as an Awarding Body by regulators in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. LAMDA classes are designed to equip learners with a range of skills that will serve them throughout life.
LAMDA is for our students aged 6+ who wish to further develop their acting skills and take part in extra classes to prepare them for nationally recognised LAMDA exams (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art).
There are extra costs for exams. Our classes are run on Thursdays.
The Dance Hub classes are created by our Founder and Choreographer Emma-Jane Taylor, for the budding dance to have some fun, improve their dance skills and work on performances. Our dance hub classes are freestyle/ non-exam based session.

We will be presenting our dance show in the local areas for our young dancers in 2025. Please get in touch for more information on our Dance Hub including class times and days.
Our non-performing Jelly Tot classes are designed especially for children aged 2-4 year olds; parents can join too! These classes are designed to allow your child to explore all areas of the performing arts with our qualified, DBS checked instructors who will get the most out of your child without them feeling intimidated or nervous. Exploring theatre through drama games, music and creative reading really does help young minds develop and explore different aspects and opportunities of this creativity. On reaching 4 years old our Jelly Tots graduate to our main school in Henley and into our Junior Musical Theatre classes where they will then be involved in all of our future productions/festivals/carnivals/Summer/ Christmas Shows. All of which continues to nurture their confidence, self belief & determination.
