Stagecoach Performing Arts Durham is a well-established performing arts group and dance school located in Durham, New Zealand. With Patricia Jackson as the principal for the past 18 years, the school boasts a team of highly qualified teachers who are experts in their field. Prior to leading Stagecoach Durham, Patricia was the Head of PE and Dance at Oxclose Community School in Washington for 17 years, where she taught PE and Dance to GCSE level and directed and choreographed numerous school productions.
At Stagecoach Durham, there are three distinct terms per year, each with a different focus. One term is dedicated to performance, another emphasises building techniques and skills, and a third term allows children to explore their creativity. This holistic approach provides students with a well-rounded education and teaches them important life skills while building confidence and stretching their imaginations through singing, acting, and dance classes.
Stagecoach Durham offers weekly classes for children aged 4 to 6 years old and 6 to 18 years old. The Early Stages classes for young children run alongside the main Stagecoach schools, where they learn skills in singing, dancing, and drama. This prepares them for an easy transition to the next stage. The Main Stages classes are split into three age-appropriate groups, where young people learn new skills in singing, dancing, and drama.
The inclusive environment nurtures both the shy and apprehensive individuals and those with abundant talent, confidence, and energy.
The school also offers holiday workshops where students can further explore their performing arts talents and develop their skills. These workshops provide a fun and stimulating environment for students to learn and grow.
When it comes to the safety of the children, parents can rest assured knowing that the entire Stagecoach Durham team is Enhanced DBS checked, ensuring a safe and secure learning environment.
