Hi - one of my children goes to the Friday night classes. The kids who go - at least on Fridays anyway - tend to stay on for years and years (10 years not unusual) which helps create a very friendly atmosphere. The shows they put on are always really good and the older stages get lots of opportunity to perform as individuals (solo songs, playing lead parts etc). I'm not sure I can assess how effective/good the teaching is, but the older stages always seem amazing to me and the school must have had a part to play in that, although of course I expect that kids drop out if they feel they aren't very good at it.


I do think your kid needs to love singing dance and drama though! That might sound obvious, but I've seen it suggested that it's a good thing to do in order to simply build confidence and I'm a bit sceptical about that.


Also, the franchise was run for many years by a really nice chap called Jonny and has recently been taken over by somebody new - it's too early to say if this is going to change anything. She's very nice and friendly although we've noticed an increase in the options for spending more money (trips, lamda exams etc)!

I completely agree with largeginandtonic. My two kids attend the stagecoach on Friday night. One is in early stages and the other one is older stage. Both enjoy their time on Friday. Even my little one sacrifices Film club in the school on some of the Fridays for Stagecoach.


If your child likes singing and dancing will enjoy the class.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
