***Please Note: 8yrs & Over Dancers may be required to perform in ALL THREE SHOWCASES, Stay Tuned!

All dancers are invited to be part of our End-of-Year Showcases.

Each week in class, students build their routines while strengthening their skills, developing performance techniques, and learning the value of commitment and teamwork.

It is very important that dancers attend all of their scheduled classes between now and Showcase. This time together allows them to refine routines, build confidence, and perform at their best.

If your child will be missing several classes in Term 4, please contact us in advance.

Likewise, if your child is unable to attend the rehearsals or the Showcase on the dates and times provided, let us know as soon as possible so we can adjust routines accordingly.

DROP OFF & PICK UP

On showcase day, all of the dancers will be staying backstage with staff and teachers for the duration of the show. Dancers are required to arrive 30mins before the start of their Showcase.

During the dropping off times, we ask that one parent/guardian comes with their child into the drop off area (you will be directed once inside the venue). Teachers and staff will be backstage with ALL DANCER at ALL times.

All dancers will be collected from the stage area once the show is over. We kindly ask that ONE parent remains in the theatre for collection.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask us. We will ensure that we talk you through the showcase day procedure again in the weeks leading up to the showcase.

SECURITY & STUDENT SAFETY

As always, the safety of our dance family is our first priority. On showcase day, all dancers will need to be signed in / out to gain access backstage. All backstage staff/teachers will be visable in uniform at all times. Only Thats Dancing staff & teachers are permitted backstage. We are unable to run messages or food to dancers, so please make sure they have everything before they come backstage. There will be someone at the door for the entire day checking passes. We do this to protect the dancers, please respect this policy. Please try not to bring anything valuable, especially electronic devices. Mobile phones are not to be taken backstage or in the changing areas. Our studio will take no responsibility if an item is damaged, misplaced, lost.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS

WHAT TO WEAR

All dancers are to arrive with their hair and makeup completed, underwear, tights on and a dressing gown or zip jacket to be worn to protect from taking clothing over your head and messing up hair. Please do NOT bring any bags or water bottles, water and mess free snacks will be supplied.
