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: July 3rd 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: July 4th 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 #1: 6:30pm
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.
