Welcome to the london stage school, fun classes for all ages, located in South East London.

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.

Classes Available

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...

A new name...'the london stage school'

news image

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.
