Theater school in Stoke

“Watching 22 men performing in perfect was in an indescribable experience. Come on United the mighty Reds”

“ELDA is an incredible dance school which caters for every dancer. Whether dancing is your hobby or you wish to pursue it as a career, this is the right place to get started. In my 19 years at the dance school I have had the opportunity to take both bbodance and IDTA examinations and perform in outstanding shows. I have also seen many students go on to work as both performers and dance teachers. The commitment from the teachers at ELDA is second to none and I couldn't recommend anywhere better!”

“This lady is amazing with a capital 'AMAZING'. I had been told by several people that I have a good voice but I never paid them any attention. When my wife passed away, I went looking for things to do and joined Kate's choir (MicWire) and not long after that started taking singing/voice coaching lessons with her. I had only ever thought of myself as a crooner but Kate encouraged me to push my boundaries, to step out of my comfort zone and has taken me to the stage where I'm working on musical theatre material with her and have recently taken my first baby steps into amateur musical theatre. My self-confidence has increased significantly over the last two or three years and I am becoming increasingly confident singing solo at gigs with the choir and the feedback from the audience has been excellent. I do have a good voice and I am learning, more and more, how to use it and how to play with it. I don't understand how she does it but she somehow makes it easy for me to understand what it is I should be doing to be able to do this, that or the other thing better.”

“Amelia loves it here the staff are amazing with her”

“A fantastic dance school, I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn dance. Nic and her team are amazing and offer fun lessons which get the best out of the students. There are performance opportunities which my children have really enjoyed. They both love attending there weekly lessons ad have grown in confidence.”

“I saw this show advertised on Facebook and had never heard of this house before. Me and a friend from work were a little apprehensive attending but we are so glad we did. The show was phenomenal! The script was aggressive yet meticulous in getting across such a controversial topic. Having read other reviews on this same show I was extremely ashamed to see others have used a show about abuse and exploitation to essentially to bring down a director who was trying to portray such a message. I think if you are more devoted to criticising the music and staging for this type of show, then maybe musicals and the west end should be where you go. I thought the atmosphere set from the stage, the kitchen set and the smoke instantly set the mood walking into the room. The direction was incredibly strong, every scene felt purposeful, and the pacing kept me completely engaged from start to finish. What really stood out to me was the way you brought out such authentic performances from the cast. The emotional moments hit hard, and the lighter beats had just the right balance a real testament to your vision and leadership behind the show Congratulations on such a well-executed piece of work. I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing what you do next. Me and my friend will definitely be back!”

“Lovely school, friendly, welcoming mums and an awesome group of teachers. Highly recommended x”

“Hi, I just wanted to say what a fantastic week my daughter Florence had at the Matilda summer camp. She has never done anything like it before and I was so so amazed at the confidence she and all the children had on stage! We have watched Matilda on repeat now and she knows all the songs (and moves). Your team were fantastic, what a lovely bunch. Thanks! Emma x”
