​Sat 20th June: Dress Rehearsals

Hundreds of our young dancers, from Preschoolers to Youth Dance Companies, will take to the stage to showcase their skills in Hip Hop, Breaking, Contemporary, Musical Theatre and Commercial dance, and several of our adult classes will perform too!

➡️ To take part as a child dancer:
All of our kids classes (except Toddlers and Minis) work towards the show, from Preschool to Secondary school! Taking part is totally optional though, and if anyone is unable to make the show or would rather not be on stage, that's totally fine and they can still take part in all classes as usual. Children will all receive sign-up emails near the beginning of Spring-Summer term, and must be registered as taking part in the show by 11th May at the latest. All registered children will receive full show information during the first few weeks of term!

➡️ To take part as an adult dancer:
If you'd like to be in the 2026 Summer Show, simply attend the classes listed soon on the show webpage for each dance style (or as many of them as you can), where you'll learn a section of the performance piece each week, and each class will have a final rehearsal during June, with times tbc with participants.
