We are excited to be able to offer Dance and Drama Awards, Higher Education Funding up to BA Honours level , and Boys’ Scholarships to make your training more affordable. Stella Mann founded the College that still bears her name in Hampstead in 1946, where it gained a reputation as one of the finest ballet schools in the country. Since Mary Breen took over from Stella in 1985, the College has diversified its training to include a wide range of up-to-date musical theatre and dance skills and styles. In 2003 the College moved to a wonderful, purpose-built facility in the heart of Bedford, where it has continued its development into a training institution that meets the demands of this most competitive but rewarding market place – the performing arts. Stella Mann College celebrates individuality and versatility in its students and, as can be seen from Our Graduates, our students go onto successful and happy careers in enormously diverse areas. These include West End shows, commercial and contemporary dance, film and television acting, pop groups, aerial and acrobatic work and modelling, with their careers often taking them all over the world. We recognise that every single student has something very special to give and the training that the College provides aims to allow every individual to become the best person they can be.
