The london stage school is an exciting part-time theatre school offering pupils training in all aspects of musical theatre, modern jazz, and IDTA (International Dance Teachers Association) examinations.
We structure our classes so the pupils learn the skills and techniques within the lesson but achieve this in a enjoyable way, dancing should be fun. The results of these lessons lead to children gaining confidence in the drama and singing, gaining good posture and alignment within ballet, improving co-ordination and rhythm in tap and letting out all that energy in modern jazz.
These structured classes combined with an experienced and dedicated teaching team builds discipline and confidence the children will use throughout their life.
We offer a wide range of subjects for all different ages,these include ballet, tap, modern jazz, singing and drama. The classes are grouped in to age and ability. Classes at present are held on Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. More information...
We have just received the results for our last exam session which took place on the 1st April at our Catford Studios. The results were exceptional with all candidates taking Graded exams gaining 83 marks or above, with the pass mark set at 65 this is an excellent achievement. Please note that Rosette tests only have two bands, Pass or Fail and on this exam session everybody gained a Pass.
All pupils were very well presented and a credit to the school, I am really proud of all of you. Well done to everybody who took part in the session.

I am pleased to announce the dates are booked for our show at “The Broadway Theatre” in Catford. We will be performing on Saturday 17th November 2012 from 7pm to 10pm and on Sunday 18th November 2012 from 5pm to 8pm. It is always an exciting time when we are building towards a show and I hope everybody will be keen to start the show work soon. Rehearsal dates are listed on the calendar page.
Well done to everybody who took part in the examination day on Saturday (10th December 2011), once again you all achieved excellent results. The next examination session has been booked for the Sunday 1st April 2012.
I am so pleased with the excellent results you have all achieved in the latest examination session. You have all worked very hard and were immaculately presented on the day of the session, you are all a credit to the school and have made me very proud.
On this session the students have received twenty five honours and four highly commended in the twenty nine banded exams. All rosette tests were awarded a pass (rosette tests do not receive a banding, there is only a pass or fail), well done everybody.
As you may be aware the full time theatre branch of the school has a new location in the West End from September 2011, a central London location was necessary due to the number of students travelling from all around the country to attend. So as the part time school and students have their own identity we have a new name 'the london stage school'.
The same standard of teaching you have come to expect from me since when I first opened the school as 'The Wheatley School of Dancing' will continue under the new name 'the london stage school'. The new name reflects the subjects we now offer and I hope you enjoy this new chapter in the school's long history.
I love the people, atmosphere and energy at the london stage school.
