Theater school in Derby

“Really nice local theatre. Went to see the great gatsby. There was a lot of sickness in the cast and someone stepped up to a main role in 5 hours. If they didnt announce it, you wouldn't have known. Very talented team. The theatre is modest but has everything you need.”

“After being heavily involved in drama groups and small productions I came to an age where I wanted to further develop my acting and performance skills. Joining Theatre Cats straight away impacted my confidence, and self belief. Having such a variety of teaching methods helped each individual in different ways through workshops, games, improvisation, exams and full productions. Theatre Cats wasnt just a educational experince it became a big part of my life, creating life long friends and allowed me to have such a strong support network for future works. The skills and tools gained from these classes made me realise what I wanted to do with the talented I now saw I had. After recently graduating from Edgehill University with a 1st class degree in musical theatre, and writing and creating a variety of short films and a being freelance model, the possibilities for the future are so exciting. I want to thank the Theatre Cats family for helping me along the way!”

“My daughter absolutely loves all of her classes at Cabaret, the staff are all fabulous and work so hard to bring out the best in students.”

“My daughter has been attending Cabaret Theatre School for the last 8 years, she enjoys every session and the yearly productions are great. All the teachers are very friendly and supportive.”

“First class dance tuition to a very high standard”

“Absolutely brilliant everyone is lovely my child is doing really well and now has so much confidence”

“Super dance school, brilliant teachers”

“My daughter attended the summer school at Razzamataz. As a quiet child, she was apprehensive at first but upon arrival we were greeted by the Principal, Shanley, in a warm and enthusiastic manner. She was quickly introduced to one of the other children in her age group who was more experienced with Razz and off she went. After her first day, upon collection, she was full of beans and keen to get back the next day! On the final day there was a performance which she thoroughly enjoyed, as did all of the audience made up of friends and family of the students. My daughter has now joined up to Razz and cannot wait to get started in a couple of weeks.”

“Very friendly, great atmosphere”

“My daughter started Theatre Cats when she was not quite 5, and 6 months in the positive impact on her confidence is absolutely brilliant to see. She did an Easter theatre camp, loves to sing and dance and add fabulous expressions to her performances. I'd recommend classes to all parents, the team are so inclusive and excellent at encouraging all students to express themselves and be happy!”

“Amazing well organised theatre School specialising in all aspects of performing arts. Quality tuition and excellent value for money. My daughters absolutely adore Razz! This makes me a very happy mummy :) Great for budding singers, dancers and actors as well as helping the less confident child come out of their shell. 5 stars for Shanley Booth and her team.”

“My daughter is 9 and has been coming to stagecoach since she started Early Stages when she was 4. She thoroughly enjoys her classes there and has developed a lot of skills. They have some fantastic teachers who really bring the best out of the pupils and they have produced some amazing shows.”

“My daughter has been going to BTP for a couple of years now and still gets excited every time we drop her off. Her confidence has grown and she has made some great friends. We love the shows and the energy of all the children. They are all so passionate about their dances and it's so lovely seeing lots of smiles! Thank you to Shanley and the team x”

“Always a big fan of Am Drams, but having now seen the effort they put into 42nd street, changing the floors for the tap dancing, the dancing itself and the fabulous music has made a delightful day out!”

“Good dance studios. Has an excellent adult tap class on a Wednesday night. Taken on by Derby Live there are classes back on.”

“Paul was absolutely brilliant, helping me find the right package for the amount of kids invited to the party. His communication pre party was bang on, he arrived at the agreed time to set up, walked me round to check everything was satisfactory. The quality of items and service was impeccable. We HIGHLY recommend!”

“We have attended first stage for the past 8 years with our three daughters. During that time we have been made to feel welcome and our daughter’s dancing has drastically improved. All teachers are approachable and care about the children in their care. We cannot recommend First Stage enough.”

“I had forgotten that I had already been here in 2014. Great place! Last time I had gone was for my son's secondary school meeting but in 2014 it was for a stage performance.”

“Fantastic classes provided by Stagecoach. 100% dedication from staff to engage and interest the students. There's outstanding opportunities for children to meet new people, learn new skills and perform at impressive venues! My confidence excelled under the influence of great teachers and the friendly, hospitable atmosphere. Would highly recommend!”

“Always great events at the local secondary school”

“Action academy is a brilliant drama school for children, it teaches them so many different skills in the industry, the teacher is super nice!”

“Workshop my kids attended before Christmas was great. We knew this drama school was going to be launched on the back of it and booked up for the open day as soon as it launched and will deffo be enrolling too. Kids had a great day - we had a break!”
