Forty one talented students from Stagecoach Performing Arts in Torquay and Newton Abbot performed in the illustrious “Dance The Dream” event to thousands of guests lining the iconic Main Street at the world-famous Disneyland Park in Paris. 

More than 1,000 people from 28 Stagecoach Performing Arts schools attended the event and next year’s promises to be even bigger.  

The students worked tremendously hard during rehearsals for what culminated in a fantastic display of talent for audiences from around the world. 

The “Dance the Dream” event provides the students with a chance to come together and showcase their talents overseas, whilst building on their creativity and Courage for Life skills that will benefit them both on and off the stage. 

Stagecoach Torquay and Newton Abbot Principal Elizabeth Price Holden said: “We are beyond excited to be able to offer this amazing opportunity to our students. They worked so hard and we were delighted to see them perform at Disneyland Paris.”

In the 35 years since launching, Stagecoach Performing Arts has seen more than one million students unlock their creative potential, which they will value for their whole lives. Provided with the support and dedication of such an outstanding Principal network, the students learn so much more than how to sing, dance and act. Stagecoach helps them blossom into well-rounded individuals, ready to embrace life and all of its exciting opportunities. Stagecoach Performing Arts is also thrilled to be celebrating its 35-year anniversary this year.

With a network of over 55,000 students and more than 3,000 extra-curricular Performing Arts Schools worldwide, Stagecoach aims to make a difference in its students’ lives by teaching Creative Courage for Life. Many children have gone on to study and work in performing arts, from blockbuster films to countless roles in local theatre productions. Early Stages classes are available for children aged four to six and Main Stages classes take place for six to 18-year-olds every weekend during term time.
