SOTA Reading

Welcome to SOTA Reading!

Slo MoOur dance, singing, drama, LAMDA Acting & ISTD Dance classes for 3-18 year olds run every Saturday at Abbey Junior School, 30 Christchurch Road, RG2 7AR.

All in one place – on one day
Pupils are able to attend our popular three hour SOTA School, a single dance class or attend a whole day of acting, singing and dance lessons mixing syllabus and non-syllabus classes. Students can learn everything they need at one venue, on one day of the week. This leaves children free in the weekday evenings to pursue their education commitments and means parents are free too – not a taxi service!

Sample Sessions

We offer a sample session to all our classes so that you can make sure we are the right school for you.

Accredited Dance & Drama Qualifications too!
The L.A.M.D.A. Drama and I.S.T.D. Dance exams we offer are national recognised qualifications that fall within the national qualifications framework. In plain english this means pupils can work towards and achieve qualifications that will earn them UCAS points which are valuable when entering further and higher education.
