For over 35 years, Stage School Australia has advanced young people’s personal skills like confidence, public speaking and teamwork through training in the performing arts. Our friendly and supportive classes develop natural abilities and foster a lifelong love of learning and creativity.
New research from the Australia Council for the Arts shows a growing number of Australians value the arts for its role in building social cohesion, personal happiness and overcoming stress.
As our families, communities and nation come to terms with the uncertainty and social disruption of the world in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the power of the arts and creativity to connect and uplift us…has never been more important.
Our streams of performing arts training include the Australian Boys Dance Academy – boys-only dance classes (6-18 years), Beginners OnStage – song, dance & acting for young children (4-7 years), the Victorian Youth Theatre (VYT) – drama and public speaking, and the Young Australian Broadway Chorus (YABC) – musical theatre for young people 8-18 years.
“Firstly, thank you for a wonderful year! Our 3 boys have thoroughly enjoyed this year – and as parents, we have loved seeing their confidence and skills grow! The staff have been wonderful, very professional and just fantastic with the kids.”

“Absolutely loved the show. The best part was seeing so many boys so happy on stage and loving busting their moves. I was moved to tears as sometimes it’s hard for them to feel comfortable dancing but they really outdid themselves and I just loved the joy they all radiated in such a supportive environment”.
