A little about us!

Steppin Out Stars of Tomorrow is predominantly a children's theatre school for ages 4-17 years, but what we really do is to create magical memories by giving our students fantastic opportunities within the performing arts and the confidence to pursue a career in the theatre should they wish.

With the support of an amazing team of talented teachers and a highly experienced Principal we have weekly classes in Wokingham and Woodley.

Lessons can be taken in Berkshire in Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Singing, Musical Theatre, Ballet, Private Singing, Commercial and Street Dance. We have a specialist Troupe and have lots of performing opportunities including a bi-annual show in a professional Theatre and a trip to perform at Disneyland Paris every 3 years. In 2024 we performed at The Blackpool Tower Ballroom!
