Watch the night again
A showcase at the Rhoda McGaw goes in a flash. At home you can rewind the whole number, catch the moment you missed from the stalls, and let your child see themselves on stage.

Why buy a video
A seat at home, for the nights that matter
These are not clips from the wings. They are the films of LESTA performances, sold so families can keep the show without paying for a whole catalogue they will never watch.
Buy only what you want
Each video is sold on its own. Pay for the showcase your child was in, a class film, or a special event. There is no bundle you have to take and no monthly fee.
Yours to stream
After checkout the video waits in My library. Come back the next morning or next Christmas. Nothing to download, no disc to lose, and no app to install.
Share it with the family
Grandparents who could not get to Woking, or the cousin who was poorly on the night, can sit and watch on a laptop or tablet. Sign in with your family account and press play.
Simple, secure checkout
Create a free account, pay in pounds with Stripe, and start watching straight away. Prices are listed per video, so you always know what you are buying.
In support of the school
LESTA exists so children believe they can. Buying a video helps keep every child on the Rhoda McGaw stage, from the tiniest ballet class to the Excel programme.
A few practicalities
Before you buy
Short answers to the questions parents usually ask. If you are still unsure, ring the office on 07773 121884 or write to us and we will help you find the right film.
- Do I need an account?
- Yes. A free account keeps your library in one place and means we can match a purchase to you. It takes a minute to create, and you only buy a video when you are ready.
- Is this a subscription?
- No. Each video is a one-off purchase. You pay for the performances you want to keep, and nothing else. There is no rolling fee and no package you have to take.
- How do I watch after I have paid?
- Sign in, open My library, and press play. You can watch on a laptop, tablet or phone, as often as you like. The video stays in your account, ready for another viewing.
- What if I missed the live show?
- That is rather the point. Showcase nights at the Rhoda McGaw, studio performances in Knaphill, and special events are filmed so families can watch again, or watch for the first time, from home.
Leanne Edwards School of Theatre Arts
Every child on the Rhoda McGaw stage
LESTA opened in 2005 and now teaches from its own studios on Guildford Road, Knaphill. Weekly class is where the dances are made. Every couple of years the whole school is invited to take the Rhoda McGaw Theatre in Woking, from the youngest ballet class to the Excel programme.
These videos are for the families who sat in the stalls, and for the ones who could not. Buy the films you want, watch them from the sofa, and keep the night without a shaky phone clip from the wings.
