   If you’re looking for a performing arts school for your child then look no further! Stage 84 offers a huge range of classes to suit all levels of competence and age ranges for children. My child attended for 11 years and has absolutely loved every moment. My child gained confidence, acting, singing and dancing skills and achieved distinctions in numerous professional exams. There’s so many opportunities for children to participate in, external events and shows, such as the Edinburgh Festival Fringe - the biggest arts festival in the world! As well as treading the boards at The Alhambra theatre and St George’s Hall in Bradford. My child has also made a wonderful circle of friends for life; the children have grown together on their journey at Stage 84. My child has been given the most amazing foundations for an onward career path into musical theatre. The staff are all wonderful and give 100% dedication. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this amazing performing arts school.

   Stage 84 has been such a big part of my children’s life. Both my son and daughter have been attending weekly performing arts and singing lessons and has been involved in some of the most amazing shows performing on multiple stages including the iconic Alhambra Theatre. It really is like a large family where everyone is included. Celebrating their 40th year this year is a testament to all the hard work over the years Would highly recommend Stage 84 for anyone interested in musical theatre, singing , acting, dance .

   My daughter has been attending Stage 84 for a number of years. She has been in a number of shows and got her first principal role last October aged 9. I would highly recommend Stage 84 any child. The teachers throughout the school are professional, they is no pressure to put your child forward for any roles or auditions but if they do want to then there is support. The standard of the performances they produce is excellent, and every child is encouraged to do their best and enjoy themselves no matter what role they have. More importantly, I have found it has given my child confidence and has taught her the importance of working hard to achieve her best.

   Stage 84 have been supportive and understanding of my son and his needs from when we first enrolled him into the school. My son loves his Drama lessons and his skills and confidence have improved so much, Drama has given him experiences and opportunities that have made such a difference to his self worth and self esteem. Both Craig and Becky are so experienced and such caring teachers- the lessons are structured but are fun and they bring so much to the students that attend the sessions.

   My child has attended stage 84 for the past 3 years, whilst there he has performed in several shows and main stage events including West Yorkshire Playhouse. During lockdown they were amazing still providing classes online and even a competition for all students. I would not hesitate to recommend sending your child here for excellent training in dance, singing and acting and amazing performance opportunities

   My daughter has been attending Stage 84 for 6 years now, she started off just doing performing arts which she loved so much she quickly went on to 1-1singing and has completed 4 exams, she is now working hard on her grade 5 exam with the help and dedication of her amazing teacher who takes the time to careful select songs that suit my daughters voice. She is also part of the junior choir which is a smaller group of children all working together to produce some lovely work. Most recently my daughter has started contemporary dance, this is the class that is up there with her favourites at the moment as she is learning a new skill and she shows me every week what she has learnt. Since staring Stage 84 my daughter has grown so much in confidence, has learnt numerous new skills and techniques, loves performing in the shows and taking part in the audition process. She has performed a solo song at a Christmas show and has made so many friends and memories since starting Stage 84 including a best friend for life. I also enjoy been part of the stage school in a chaperoning capacity and look forward to been part of all the amazing shows. My son has also joined performing arts so I think the school will be part of our lives for quite a few years yet. I would definitely recommend this school to others thinking of sending their children to a stage school, there is so much on offer at Stage 84.

   I just wanted to take this time to share how incredible Stage 84 are. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a wide variety of classes available for your child. My daughter has been attending Stage 84 for almost 5 years now and attends Performing arts, 1-2-1 Singing and 1-2-1 Speech and Drama Classes. These classes have been invaluable in building up not only her skills across Musical Theatre but her own self confidence. The teachers and staff are all highly skilled and always encourage children to go outside comfort zones which ultimately builds confidence and character all transferable skills for future careers. We really do feel part of the Stage 84 family and the exam results and shows they perform speak for themselves. Incredible, Thank you Stage 84

   My daughter joined Stage 84 in April 2021 and has loved every moment. The teachers and children at Skipton all made her feel part of the team right from the start. I believe that the level of teaching given certainly gives my daughter the ability to become the best she can and the support and opportunities given to her by Stage 84 will help her achieve her goals.
