Stage School Australia Hawthorn

"I have been attending YABC classes since 2016, and am now a member of the Triple Threats (the highest performing level). For the last 7 years it has been a highlight of my week coming to class, and I can honestly say that it has changed my life. Prior to joining YABC I had no experience dancing and limited experience in singing and acting (only in primary school plays). My singing teacher at Stage School inspired me to take up private singing lessons, which I have now been doing for 7 years. In my time with the company I have made lifelong friends and connected with people from all over Melbourne with similar skills and interests to me, a social opportunity that is rare and invaluable. Beyond this, the continued fostering of my skills in a fast-paced and professional environment has been transformative for me as a performer, and the intensive performance seasons offer a window into the professional industry, inspiring me to pursue a career in the arts. Through YABC and Stage School I have met lifelong friends and developed into a performer my younger self would be proud of."

"My family has been a part of the Stage School family for 10 years. Our kids are and have been involved at every level, from Beginners on Stage and every level of Young Australian Broadway Chorus. They are an important part of our lives and we can't wait each year to see the kids grow and perform. The smiles as they go to training/rehearsal each week are amazing. If you are considering Stage School for your kids, stop right now and enquire!!!"

"Eight years ago my daughter started with Beginners on Stage when she was five. She loved her first class and has loved every class since. We have always been at YABC Hawthorn and in addition to the musical theatre side of things which has been FANTASTIC the YABC team are encouraging, professional, enthusiastic and in our opinion provide a nurturing environment for every child."

"Our daughter commenced training with Stage School Australia in 2009, at the age of six, spending time in both the Young Australia Broadway Chorus (YABC) and Australian Youth Theatre (AYT). Fast forward to 2022, and she has just concluded her third year (give or take a few co-vid disruptions!) as a Triple Threat, and now works for the company as both a teacher and in administration. Her thirteen years at Stage School Australia have been a joy. The discipline she has developed through her training and the friendships she has formed will hold her in good stead for the rest of her life. Best decision our family has ever made!"

"The team at Stage School, offer such a great environment for their students to perform to the highest level. The teachers are all very encouraging, and highly qualified to develop everyone to reach their greatest heights. The students all have great fun and the performances are just amazing ! Well done to all the team at Stage School !"
