Tim Jenkins, the current Principal, took over the running of the dancing school over 25 years ago from her mother, Freda Howson (previously Freda Gurney). Classes have been held around High Wycombe for over 50 years along with various fundraising shows. Kim's daughter, Cara, is now studying hard to qualify with the IDTA so that the school can continue and expand in the future. Cara is loving the opportunities to gain the required teaching experience during the classes each week under the guidance of her mum!
Pupils have been entered for IDTA examinations with great success rates throughout the years. Many have enjoyed participating in Town Hall Shows and school fetes, raising money for charities along the way.
The dancing school has survived this long without paying for any advertisement and is solely reliant on referrals. Enquiries are regularly received from past pupils for their children and grandchildren to join, along with many referrals from present students.

Stagecoach Theatre Arts is a highly regarded network of performing arts schools with a proven record of delivering quality dance, drama and singing lessons to youngsters worldwide.
Over the years Stagecoach has provided a springboard for some of the UK's leading young talent and has had the privilege of watching thousands of kids grow in confidence and ability.
We first opened our doors in 1988 when Stagecoach founders Stephanie Manuel and David Sprigg launched three schools in Richmond, Redhill and Woking. Their formula of teaching small classes of children an hour of dance, an hour of singing and an hour of drama on a weekly basis was an instant success.
Today we continue to build on those foundations. We have a thriving network of more than 320 fun and friendly franchised performing arts schools at safe and convenient locations in the UK, and a growing presence in ten other countries.
We offer brilliant kids’ parties, children’s holiday activities involving musical theatre and drama workshops, and we have our very own talent agency for children and young performers.
Our goal is to inspire and enrich young people through the performing arts and introduce them to new opportunities in a happy, safe and secure environment.
