Adult Performance Course

House Party!

We’re dusting off the disco ball and sequins, partying like it’s 1999, and blasting our favourite Britney Spears hits of the 2000s. This is a house party and everyone is invited!

What is it?

What if I’ve never performed before?

Perfect! Welcome to the start of what will be an addictive experience combining serious skill-building with genuine fun.

To aid you on your journey, we’ve streamlined each course into an experience tailored to your goals.

OPEN – FUN: Are you new to dance? Maybe you’ve never learnt and performed a whole routine before? Or even if you’re just after a chance to develop some new skills in an environment where your victories become our celebration: Open Level – Fun is for you

OPEN – PUSH YOURSELF: ready to meet your potential? If you’ve taken classes consistently, performed onstage before, or even if you’re after an intensive course to push your dancing to the next level; Open Level – Push Yourself is for you.

When’s the Showcase?

Tech Rehearsal: October 16th from 6:00pm – You will only be required during your group’s timeslot. This rehearsal is when each group will get time onstage with lighting to get a feel for what it will be like during the shows and see it all come together.

Show Day: October 17th from 3:00pm – After arrival, there will be a brief meeting followed by a finale rehearsal and a full show dress run (in costume as though you were performing for an audience). You’ll be able to watch the other groups during this rehearsal and cheer them on!

Show #2: 8:30pm

Additional Information

Additional Costs: You will be required to work with your team and choreographer to organise costumes, props (if desired) and make-up at your own cost.

Refund Policy: Performance Courses are non-refundable.

Late sign-up: Bookings for courses will remain open until the end of week 2 (4th May). You will be charged the full cost of the course, but we will add a single class pass to your account to make up for the missed week.

Attendance: It is expected that students strive to attend all the sessions allotted for their course. While we understand life gets in the way and urgent situations arise, if a student misses more than two sessions they may be ineligible to perform at the showcase (this would be discussed with the teacher on a case-by-case basis).  In most circumstances we can work around absences, but please always be fully transparent with your course teacher if there’s a session you will be unable to attend.
