Stage Stars Theatre Academy was set up in 2008 by professional actress, singer and dancer Gemma Hodgson.

The team of teachers who work alongside Gemma include Ryan Quish (Grease - West End, We Will Rock You - West End) and Conleth Kane (UK Tour Beauty and the Beast and will be performing on Broadway in the summer of 2011).

Teachers not only have extensive professional experience allowing us to help those who wish to pursue a career in the performing arts but are also very experienced working with children, young adults and adults alike allowing even the shyest individual to shine and reach their full potential.

All our teachers are enhanced CRB checked and in the younger classes we also employ a teaching assistant to help with pastoral care.

Gemma is first aid trained and we have full insurances.

We keep class sizes small in order to allow each child to reach their full potential and develop at their own individual rate, supporting them every step of the way.

We offer classes in the following disciplines musical theatre, modern jazz, tap, lyrical, drama, singing, Zumba fitness and
Zumbatomic (ages 4-12).

We offer the chance to take examinations from the following boards

BSDA (British Stage Dance Association)

LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art)

Throughout the year we offer our students a range of opportunities to perform outside their classes including

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival (every two years)

Disneyland Paris IFDPA (every year)

Annual production at a professional theatre venue (The Junction - 2010 and The Key Theatre, Peterborough - 2011)

Summer schools and holiday workshops are run throughout the year where we very often get performers from the shows themselves to work with the children and create an end of week performance.

Classes are offered in several areas, please see the link above for details.

We also have a professional standard dance troupe called Atomic Fuzion, comprised of our most able students in dance and they perform regularly at local festivals, events and in competitions. This troupe rehearse in Alconbury on Sundays
