Dancing With The Stars Competition

In the early months of the year Showtime students got the opportunity to be involved in Channel 10’s TV show competition, filming and submitting a fun and creative dance video cheering on our favourite competitor Angie Kent!

Angie has starred in various reality TV shows including Gogglebox, The Bachelorette, and I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Our students used this as inspiration to create a relatable and entertaining video for Angie. We also learnt of Angie’s love for dogs and her foster care of numerous pups, so we even let Max, Ms Rita’s dog join in on the fun in our video!

Angie loved our video commenting “Go Girls!!! I Love this” on our Instagram page and also sent an additional message complimenting our cute Max and expressing her excitement to see the full video! Our students had lots of fun, experiencing new levels of creativity and involvement in the Australian Dance TV show, Dancing With the Stars!

Australian Dance Festival Sydney Tour 2019

In September this year, seven of our students flew over to Sydney to attend the Australian Dance Festival for a weekend of workshops with some of Australia’s best and inspiring choreographers. Friday to Sunday our students attended workshops at Sydney Olympic Park along with hundreds of dancers from across Australia.

Our students participated in workshops in a variety of styles of dance from choreographers including Marko Panzic, Stephen Tannos, the O’neill Twins, Yvette Lee, Neale Whittaker, James Barry, Cat Santos, Elly Creevy, Will Sabin, Jason Winters, Matt Lee, Michael Dameski and many more. After very long days of dancing, our students attended performances from the Resonate program, Australia’s Best Dance Crew, Australia’s Next Choreographer, as well as the Dance Around the World Solo Competitions.

To end the trip, a day was spent sightseeing in Sydney, visiting the Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Madame Tussaud's, and Luna Park. All of our students had an amazing time in Sydney learning and building our dance knowledge in such an exciting and positive environment. Despite being completely exhausted our students are already excited about returning in 2021 for another weekend of all things dance!
