Senior Classes
 
 
Our Senior classes are designed for dancers who are ready to continue developing their skills, confidence, and passion for dance. Through a range of styles including Ballet, Tap, Modern, Commercial, and Musical Theatre, students are encouraged to challenge themselves, build strong technique, and grow as performers.
With experienced teachers, supportive training, and opportunities to develop both technically and creatively, Finch Stage School helps every dancer continue to progress and enjoy their dance journey.
 
Our CLASSES
Seniors
13+
Our Senior classes are designed for passionate dancers aged 13+ who want to continue developing their technique, performance skills, and confidence in a supportive and inspiring environment.
Whether your child is progressing through Finch Stage School or joining us for the first time, our Senior classes welcome dancers of all abilities who are ready to challenge themselves, learn new skills, and become part of our Finch family.
As students progress through the Senior School, training becomes more focused and challenging, helping dancers develop strength, flexibility, musicality, artistry, and versatility across a wide range of styles. Classes include Commercial, Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Musical Theatre, Pointe, and Lyrical, providing a well-rounded training experience for dancers with a variety of interests and aspirations.
Whether students are working towards examinations, preparing for performances, exploring future opportunities in dance and theatre, or simply dancing for the love of it, our experienced teachers provide guidance and encouragement to help every dancer achieve their personal goals.
Senior classes take place at our **Redbridge** school on **Tuesdays and Saturdays**, where dancers train alongside like-minded students in a welcoming, family-focused atmosphere. Alongside technical training, we focus on building resilience, discipline, teamwork, and self-confidence—valuable skills that extend far beyond the dance studio.
Senior students have exciting opportunities to perform in our productions, take part in workshops, events, and examinations, while also becoming positive role models for our younger dancers and helping inspire the next generation of Finch performers.
At Finch Stage School, we believe every dancer should feel challenged, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Whatever their experience level or ambitions, our Senior classes provide the training, opportunities, and encouragement to help every student shine.
