"I joined the studio last year and have loved every moment of being there. Having been a professional dancer over ten years ago, I never thought I'd have the chance to perform again since changing career & having babies, until I found out about the amazing adults classes offered here. I was even given the opportunity to be part of their fantastic production show, which was such a great experience. Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging, it really is like a big family. Whether you've danced before or not, there's a fun class for you. No matter your experience, you'll get so much out of these classes."

"One word! Transformative.
My son Luca, started at The Hastings Stage Studio at aged 6 years old, and grew in to the most confident, yet well rounded and wonderful young man. Luca was with the Studio for many years. With the professional specialist academic support of John and Vanessa Pohlhammer. And the founder Anne ( Slacke).
They nurtured Luca, and treated him as one of their own, and he enjoyed attending classes ranging from Acting, singing, dancing. And in Lucas own words his time at The Hastings Stage Studio was “the best fun ever, and made friends for life”."
