Junior Classes

7-9 Years

 

Our Juniors classes are designed for children aged 7–9 who are ready to build on their skills, grow in confidence, and take their performing arts training to the next level.


Whether they have progressed through our younger classes or are joining Finch Stage School for the first time, every child is welcomed into our supportive, family-focused environment where they are encouraged to work hard, make new friends, and enjoy every moment of learning.


Each week, pupils train in Ballet, Tap, Modern, Street Dance, and Musical Theatre, developing strong technical foundations while improving flexibility, coordination, musicality, and performance skills. Classes are energetic, inspiring, and challenging, giving children the opportunity to grow both as performers and as individuals.


Our Juniors classes run on Mondays and Saturdays at Redbridge and Wednesdays at Dagenham, making it easy for families to find a class that suits them.


As children become more confident, they are introduced to more advanced choreography, performance techniques, and character work, helping them develop stage presence and versatility across a range of dance styles. Pupils also take part in our spectacular stage productions, where they have the opportunity to perform in a professional theatre environment and create unforgettable memories.


Parents love seeing their children flourish through dance and theatre, gaining confidence, developing discipline and resilience, working as part of a team, and forming friendships that often last for years. At Finch Stage School, our Juniors classes provide the perfect balance of excellent training, creativity, and fun, inspiring every child to reach their full potential.
