About us...

Our journey

Founder, Maria Richards, an Industry Professional & previously Home Educated, started Home Edu-Stage in 2024. 

We initially began with in person community based sessions, located in South Croydon, London. This began as Maria felt it was a space she was missing growing up.  The key focuses of the sessions she leads are: enjoyment ,connection and knowledge. Over the past two years of running, we have had many requests to expand our reach. Maria wanted to be able to offer dance education to children no matter their location. Which then further inspired the makings of our certification. What we have now created in partnership with award winning company 'Technology Triumphs' is an online level two certification in dance,  accredited by 'NCFE'.  This is a course designed specifically for students that want to dance, whether that be professionally or as a hobby.
