Whether you’ve never taken a dance class in your life, haven’t danced since school, or simply want a fun way to move, laugh, and meet new people, this session is a warm, welcoming introduction to the world of musical theatre. You’ll be joining a friendly group of adults who are all here for the same reason — to try something new, build confidence, and enjoy a feel‑good evening together. **What you’ll experience** * A relaxed, supportive class led by Stage & the City * Simple choreography inspired by West End musicals (no experience needed) * A chance to explore musical theatre style in a fun, pressure‑free way * A lovely group of likeminded people who want to move, connect, and have a great time Most people arrive saying “I’m not sure I can do this”… and leave smiling, sweaty, and proud of themselves. **About the full course** Our 11‑week *Musical Theatre Dance* course is all about confidence, expression, and joy. You’ll learn routines inspired by iconic shows, improve coordination and musicality, and discover how empowering it feels to move your body in a supportive environment.

**Meet2Click Curated Conversations** Each Meet2Click Curated Conversation dinner centres around a carefully chosen topic or shared interest, designed to spark thoughtful conversation and meaningful connection. Modern life is often driven by success, productivity, and constant achievement — yet we rarely pause to ask a deeper question: **What does happiness really mean?** Many of us equate happiness with achievement, status, or temporary pleasure. But research suggests happiness is something more intentional — built through meaning, satisfaction, and connection. If we don’t define it consciously, we risk chasing the wrong version of it. At this small-group dinner experience, we will explore: • Can happiness be built? • Does success actually make us happy? • Is happiness more about meaning or enjoyment? Inspired by the happiness framework developed by Harvard professor and bestselling author Arthur Brooks, guests will receive a short overview of his key ideas two days before the event to reflect on ahead of our discussion. This is not a debate. It is not a lecture. It’s a relaxed, friendly conversation around the table with curious, open-minded people. If you value thoughtful conversation and meaningful connection, join us for an evening dedicated to exploring what happiness truly means — and whether we are living in alignment with it. **Launch Season Benefit** During our initial Meet2Click dinners, guests will enjoy **up to 50% off food** at the restaurant. This introductory benefit is available for a limited launch period. Food and drinks are paid individually, directly with the restaurant. ⸻ Details Location: Kendal Street Kitchen, London Date: 21 April **Ticket price:** £15 per person *(includes your seat and contribution to the evening — food and drinks ordered and paid individually at the restaurant)* Seats are intentionally limited to encourage meaningful conversation and genuine connection. Additional Information: Photos or videos may be taken during the event for promotional purposes. Should you wish to opt out, please notify the host upon arrival, and your preferences will be respected.

**Singing for Beginners - Taster Session** **Monday 20th April – 6.30pm–7.40pm** If you’ve always wanted to sing but never quite had the confidence… this is your moment. Whether you only sing in the shower, used to love singing years ago, or simply want to meet new people while learning a new skill, this relaxed taster session is the perfect place to start. You’ll be joining a friendly group of adults who are all here for the same reason — to explore their voice, build confidence, and enjoy an uplifting evening together. **What you'll experience -** * A warm, supportive session led by Stage & the City * Simple vocal exercises to help you find your voice (no experience needed) * A chance to explore different musical styles, (musical theatre, soul, pop etc) in a fun, pressure‑free way * A welcoming group of likeminded people who want to grow, connect, and have fun Most people arrive feeling a little nervous… and leave feeling energised, proud, and surprised by what they can do. **What we offer -** Our 11‑week *Singing for Beginners* course explores a range of genres — from pop to musical theatre to contemporary styles — so you can discover what suits your voice and personality. And for those who want to take things further, there’s the optional opportunity to perform in **Stage & the City’s charity showcase on Saturday 4th July**.

✨ Тур в Зачарованный лес, где когда-то Кристофер Робин водил дружбу с медвежонком, который всегда «немного того, на диете». **Ashdown Forest** — это не просто зелёный массив в графстве Восточный Суссекс. Это место, где стирается грань между вымыслом и реальностью, где каждый поворот тропинки может вывести к мостику, с которого Винни-Пух и Пятачок бросали палочки, соревнуясь в знаменитой игре «Пустяки». Этот древний лес хранит память о веках. Когда-то здесь звучали рога королевской охоты: ещё в XIII веке лес обнесли частоколом, чтобы монархи и знать могли преследовать оленей. Генрих VIII, охотясь в этих угодьях, приезжал в соседний замок Hever ухаживать за Анной Болейн. Но главное чудо ждёт вас не в истории, а в самом пейзаже. В конце апреля лес начинает пробуждаться особенно трепетно. Воздух прозрачен и свеж, а среди прошлогодней листвы и молодой зелени, в тенистых и влажных уголках, уже появляются первые **лесные колокольчики**. 💐А после того, как вы надышитесь смоляным воздухом и тишиной веков, мы перенесёмся в совершенно иной мир — мир цвета и аромата. Всего в нескольких милях отсюда раскинулась **ферма Tulleys**, где апрель бушует яркими красками из более чем **полутора миллионов тюльпанов**. Здесь, на знаменитом фестивале тюльпанов, цветут более 100 различных сортов — алые, жёлтые, розовые, фиолетовые, почти чёрные тюльпаны тянутся к солнцу, создавая ковёр такой интенсивности, что глазам не верится. Над полями возвышается 33-метровое колесо обозрения — поднимитесь на нём, и перед вами откроется фантастическая панорама: разноцветные полосы тюльпанов, уходящие к самому горизонту, словно сам Весенний художник опрокинул сюда все свои краски. А воздух наполнен не только сладковатым ароматом цветов, но и живой музыкой — по тюльпановым тропам бродят уличные музыканты, даря каждому уголку полей свою неповторимую мелодию. Местные жители называют Tulleys «цветущим великолепием» — и действительно, когда бродишь среди этих сотен тысяч бутонов под аккомпанемент акустической гитары, кажется, что попал на полотно импрессиониста, которое ожило и зазвучало. Вы сможете вдыхать тонкий запах весны, делать снимки, попробовать настоящие голландские лакомства и даже собрать свой собственный букет, чтобы увезти частицу этого праздника с собой. Это путешествие — не просто прогулка. Это возможность за один день прикоснуться к вечности и к мимолётной, но такой прекрасной весне! 📝План поездки: 📍**08:45 Встреча** у отеля **[Hotel Novotel London West](https://goo.gl/maps/isJaR8654Y62),** 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (рядом с Hammersmith Station) 📍10:30 — 12:00 Остановка в лесу, где растут колокольчики (Ashdown Forest) 📍12:00 — 13:00 Время для обеда в кафе парка 📍13:15 — 16:30 Фестиваль тюльпанов на [Tulleys Farm](https://www.tulipfarm.co.uk/) ([от £16.95](https://tulleystulipfarm.digitickets.co.uk/tickets?_gl=1*1lod871*_gcl_au*MTAxNjk4MTE1NS4xNzcyNDQwMDM3*_ga*ODE2OTgyNTYyLjE3NzI0NDAwMzg.*_ga_2LMD6CBF79*czE3NzMyMzQyOTMkbzkkZzEkdDE3NzMyMzQyOTMkajYwJGwwJGgw), бронируйте заранее на слоты с 13:30) 📍18:00 London, Hammersmith 👣 Продолжительность путешествия зависит от погодных условий и дорожных пробок. ✅ Включено в стоимость: ⚜️Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️Профессиональный водитель с курсами IAM/RoSPA ⚜️Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) ❌Не включено: ❌Входные билеты: цены указаны в плане путешествия ❌Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌[Страховка](https://www.coverwise.co.uk/) в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌[Evebus Club](https://evebus.com/ru/evebus-club/) – переносы броней без потерь, [выбор посадочного](https://evebus.com/ru/seating-plan) места ❌Экскурсовод: £20 с человека при условии набора группы от 6-ти участников 🎒Что взять с собой: ☑️Воду/еду по желанию ☑️Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ☑️Мелочь для чаевых и отличное настроение 🙂 ☑️При необходимости не более одной ручной клади весом до 10 кг (40x30x20 см) ✳️Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.
