A fun first step into performing
We make musical theatre classes for young children feel exciting, welcoming and easy to enjoy from the very start. These sessions are designed for children aged 3½ to 5 of all abilities, giving them a lively introduction to movement, music and stage confidence in Wokingham and Woodley. Guided by professional teachers, we help your child grow in confidence, listen well and join in with others without feeling under pressure. That matters at this age, because early classes can shape how comfortable your child feels in group activities and creative settings. We keep the atmosphere supportive and upbeat, so your child can explore musical theatre, make new friends and enjoy real performing opportunities. Steppin Out Stars of Tomorrow has been helping children develop through enjoyable classes since 2008.
What your child can gain from each class
Our sessions focus on building confidence, creativity and enjoyment through age-appropriate musical theatre activities. Led by an experienced, welcoming team, we guide children through simple musical theatre exercises that encourage expression, coordination and listening in a way that feels natural to them. For many families, this kind of class is a wonderful way to help a child come out of their shell form lovely friendships and feel part of the group. Whatever their starting point, every child is welcome, and each lesson stays playful and pressure-free so they can shine at their own pace — including on stage. Families across Wokingham and Woodley choose Steppin Out Stars of Tomorrow because we keep things warm, structured and genuinely fun.
A stage school that feels welcoming from day one
Finding a class that feels encouraging, organised and genuinely enjoyable can make all the difference for your child. Steppin Out Stars of Tomorrow has been helping children and young people grow in confidence since 2008, with a team of professional, qualified and DBS-checked teachers who understand how important those first experiences can be.
Our classes are fun, inclusive and welcoming to children of all abilities, giving every student the opportunity to learn and develop in a supportive environment. Whether your child is a shy beginner or already loves being in the spotlight, our teachers help them feel comfortable, make new friends and build confidence as they discover what they can achieve.
Learning goes beyond the classroom, with real performing opportunities that allow students to put their skills into practice and experience the excitement of performing in front of an audience. From developing new skills to sharing the stage with friends, we aim to make every child's time at Steppin Out Stars of Tomorrow enjoyable, encouraging and rewarding.

What sets us apart
Celebrated for what we do
We take full scale shows and amend them so students ALL have a chance to shine rather than a few leading roles and the rest of the cast in the background. We believe in fair casting and creating extra parts to aid our students talents. This makes Steppin Out completely unique to ANY theatre school in our area!
Skills that carry across every style
At steppin out we believe in “ all round “ training so that if a child should wish to pursue performing arts as a career they have all the tools in place and skill set to do so. Students can take Musical Theatre, Private singing lessons, Future Dance teachers program and Street Dance, Tap and Ballet!
We also have a performance Troupe as well!
A team you can trust
With us, your child is in expert hands. We're a multi-award-winning school led by principal Shelley Otway-Wood, who brings over 30 years in professional theatre and a qualified, DBS-checked team. Our students have performed everywhere from Disneyland Paris and Blackpool Tower to London's West End — with New York next in 2027!
Frequently asked questions
- Sam Gunter
My daughter has attended classes with Steppin Out since September 2018. She loves it and has grown so much in confidence and ability during this time. Steppin Out has given her so many performing opportunities which has seen her perform in carnivals, fayres, shows and at Disneyland Paris. She has made some amazing friendships and learnt many transferable skills. Thank you to Shelley and her amazing team for all they do and the skills they share.
