Stage School

Steptacular Stage School gives children and young adults aged 3 to 20 the opportunity to train, perform and grow in confidence through singing, dancing and drama classes across our South Dublin locations in Dundrum, Templeogue, Firhouse and Saggart. Each year, students take part in two major productions, our magical Christmas Panto and our hugely popular End of Year Variety Show, with every student given the opportunity to audition for featured roles. Performed to sold out audiences and built around original scripts and creative concepts, our productions have been entertaining audiences for over 16 years and continue to grow bigger and better each year.

Lyrical

Our lyrical dance classes are designed for students from age 3 upwards, combining elements of ballet, jazz and contemporary movement to create expressive and emotive dance experiences. In a positive and supportive environment, students develop musicality, flexibility, coordination, balance and performance skills, while learning to express themselves through movement. Classes also encourage confidence, creativity and a love of dance from an early age.

Hip Hop

Hip Hop at Steptacular is all about energy, attitude and individuality. These fast paced classes introduce students to commercial choreography, street dance styles and freestyle movement in a relaxed and upbeat atmosphere. Dancers are encouraged to perform with confidence, develop their own style and enjoy the freedom and creativity that makes Hip Hop such an exciting and popular class choice.
