Shooting Stars

Welcome back to 2025 Musical Theatre Classes! 
We are so enjoying reconnecting with our fabulous returning students, and getting to know some wonderful students who are new to Stage Door this year!

What an awesome first two weeks of classes we had in with our fab Shooting Stars tamariki! 
Our clever students did so well learning a new physical warmup dance (BABY SHARK REMIX), trying out weird and wonderful vocal warm ups, playing games, meeting new people and being super brave! Kai Pai!

This week our Shooting Stars class learnt that their Term One song will be Hard Knock Life from the musical Annie. 
We had fun getting to know the song a little bit this week, and look forward to learning some of the blocking (movement) together next week.

Class resources for the Shooting Stars (ie Song Tracks, Song Lyrics, Notices etc) can be found to the far right of this page, above the tutor pics.
 

During Term One our focus for all of Stage Door's school aged classes is on establishing connections and creating a safe and fun classroom environment where we hope our students will be able to relax, have fun and grown in confidence and skill throughout the year. We take time to get to know each other, play games and invest in activities designed to promote connection, team work and fun. We find that doing this at the start of the year is absolutely vital to establishing a class culture and environment inline with our tag line that Stage Door is a place "Where Everyone Belongs". 

Throughout the year our Shooting Stars class will work on several different songs that they will ultimately present at our Musical Theatre End of Year Showcase performances at the end of the year, on Saturday 22 November, 2025 (scroll down for more information about our 2025 Musical Theatre Showcase). 

Parents and Students are asked to keep an eye on this page, where updates, practice resources and homework notes will be regularly added throughout the year. 

TERM ONE SONG:
Hard Knock Life, from Annie
