ABOUT US
Reach is a thriving Musical Theatre school providing weekend and holiday classes in Dancing, Singing and Drama. We have classes for children, young people and adults from 6 to 18+, the class sizes are small to ensure we meet the individual needs of all our members. For students wishing to become industry professionals we are the alternative to full time Stage School.
