Two shows, one journey
Which show is my dancer in?
Lower School
Tots and Minis: Early Years, Reception and School Years 1 & 2 classes.
A show for our younger dancers, planned to run without an interval.
Upper School
NextGen, Ignite and Legacy: classes from School Year 3 upwards.
The complete mixed-age Pom class and Stella cheer squad will perform together in the Upper School show. A 15-minute interval is planned.
Please check your dancer's class allocation.
Aerial, tumbling and Performance Team classes are not performing in the annual shows. A dancer attending another participating class can still take part through that class.
Both shows are being planned for the weekend of 22 & 23 May 2027 at Hope Theatre. Performance times, arrival times and final class allocations will be confirmed here.

Parent questions
When will we know our class song and costume?
Teachers are planning the music and class themes across the decades. Song choices, costumes and any costs will be shared once decided. Please wait for your class information before buying show costumes.
My child attends classes in both shows. What should I do?
Check each class allocation and contact the studio if you are unsure. Final performance and arrival times will be shared so families can plan for any crossover between shows.
Does registering for the show also book spectator tickets?
No. Dancer participation and audience ticket booking are separate. The dancer registration deadline is 1 March; spectator ticket sales begin on 25 April.
Where will new information appear?
