About Our Academy
A Place to Belong…
Welcome to MC Stage Academy, a creative and inclusive space where young people can sing, dance, perform and above all, belong.
Formerly known as MC Dance, our rebrand reflects the exciting evolution of our school. We’re no longer just about dance, we now embrace all aspects of stagecraft and performance. Whether your child is a budding performer, a shy creative looking to build confidence, or just wants to have fun and make friends, MC Stage Academy is the perfect place to grow.
Led by the passionate and experienced Marie Cashin, the Academy is built on a belief that it’s not about being the best, it’s about doing your best. Our ethos is rooted in encouragement, energy and enjoyment. Every class is designed to nurture creativity, boost self-esteem, and allow students to explore movement, music and storytelling in a relaxed and supportive environment.
With over 20 years’ experience as a qualified dance teacher, choreographer and stage school owner, Marie brings not only technical skill but a deep love for musical theatre and community connection. Backed by a brilliant team, she ensures every student feels seen, valued and inspired, regardless of experience or ability.
At MC Stage Academy, you’ll find a warm welcome, a vibrant community, and a school where everyone has a place on the stage.
At MC Stage Academy, we believe the stage is for everyone. Our goal is simple, to create a space where young people feel safe, confident and inspired to express themselves. Whether it’s through singing, dancing or acting, students are encouraged to explore their creativity in a way that’s supportive, energetic, and most importantly, fun.
We’re not about perfection or competition. We’re about passion, growth and self-expression. Each class is designed to build confidence, develop performance skills and foster friendships in a relaxed, welcoming environment. With age appropriate classes and a strong emphasis on inclusion, we make sure every child feels they belong, whether they’re stepping onto the stage for the first time or returning to deepen their craft.
From our vibrant weekly classes to exciting show opportunities and showcases, MC Stage Academy is a place where creativity is celebrated and individuality is embraced. No pressure, no judgement, just a shared love of the arts and the joy that comes from learning together.
