Star Struck Dance Challenge 2018

Showtime HMS Competitions ,

This year we sent our students off to a new set of competitions, Star Struck Dance Challenge, held over a Friday night and Sunday. It was a lovely, friendly weekend competing against different dance schools that we don't usually see at our regular competitions so we got to make some great new friends as well! Everyone also loved being able to watch the other performers and their peers throughout the competition.

Our students shone on stage as per usual, and the results were amazing. We were blown away when Gemma & Tylah received the award for 2nd highest overall score in the senior duo/trio section with their Neo-Classical duo.

1st Place - 12/U Lyrical Solo (Sophie.S)

Star Search Festival 2018

Showtime HMS Competitions ,

Over the first week of school holidays 24 of our students braved the competition scene at the Star Search Dance Festival. Going on stage knowing you are being judged & graded is so much harder than going on stage just to perform for an audience so we salute all our students that had the courage to get up there!

Coming home with a placing or honourable mention is a great achievement and of course exciting for the students, however as a teacher the best part about the last week at competitions was seeing our students support each other and take the time out of their holidays to come watch and cheer on their peers. Showtime staff have been so proud of all students and parents involved.

We have also had many students who in the past didn't have the confidence to compete with a solo whom now, after dancing with their peers in duo's & trio's, are keen to get out there themselves and do a solo for the next set of competitions. This is what competitions is all about, it doesn't matter if you win or not, but the confidence and stage experience you gain by being involved is priceless! Great work Showtime!!!

Results:

2nd Place - 18/O National Solo Novice (Jennifer.C)
2nd Place - 15/U Tap Solo Novice (Jennifer.B)
2nd Place - 9/U Hip Hop Solo Novice (Ciara-Mae)
2nd Place - 9/U Hip Hop Trio (Ashleigh, Ivy & Olivia)
3rd Place - 15/U Neo Classical Duo (Gemma & Tylah)
3rd Place - 15/U Hip Hop Duo (Liliana & Monique)
3rd Place - 11/U Hip Hop Troupe
3rd Place - 11/U Song & Dance Solo Novice (Braydee)

So that's another competition season over for the year! Congratulations to all students who competed in the Kwinana Dance Festival over the school holidays. Every dancer that hit the stage had improved on their own previous performances - as we say "It's not about being the best, it's about being the best that you can be!". We had quite a few students who were competing for the very first time and you would never have known, we hope you all enjoyed the experience and will continue to compete in the future. Thank you to Miss Helen, Miss Jay & Miss Georgia for teaching the students their competition routines and supporting them over the holidays.

Australian Dance Festival Sydney Tour 2017

Showtime HMS Competitions, Concerts, Workshops , ,

Thursday September 14th marked the day we would be departing for Sydney! Students were rushing out of school early to meet at the airport and full of excitement. This year we had a much smaller group heading on the tour of 7 students, 2 teachers and 2 parents.

Friday morning we had a bit of time to relax and wander around the area of Sydney Olympic Park before heading to the centre for 3hrs worth of dance workshops. For the seniors the day started with our good friend from Phly Crew, Neale Whittaker, teaching a contemporary workshop. The junior students starting their day with a jazz class with Stephen Perez. After the workshops we headed back to the hotel for some dinner and then continued the night with a range of showcase performances and the Australia's Best Dance Crew competition.

Saturday was a busy day with 5 hours of workshops with Australia's best choreographers. Students learnt a range of styles including commercial jazz, hip hop, contemporary and breakdance. By the end of the day the students were exhausted and their brains about to pop with so much new choreography. Another quick dinner & shower at the hotel and then it was back to the centre for more performances. This evening we witnessed the Australia's N.E.X.T Choreographer competition and were blown away with pieces by Neale Whittaker, Rob McLean, Lucy Doherty, Cat Santos and more.

For the seniors Sunday came with a much needed sleep in. Unfortunately for the 2 junior students of our group they had another early start for their last few workshops - but they were able to rest and explore in the afternoon. The seniors then had their last workshops in the afternoon followed by one last evening of amazing performances. After the festival we watched Marko Panzic's Dream Dance Tour show "Enter The Vortex" choreographed by Sarah Boulter who some of our students took class with during the weekend.

Our last day of the trip we did some exploring of Sydney, starting with Darling Harbour and Madame Tussaudes wax museum. The students had a blast getting selfies with all the stars and some even got a wax model of their own hand made. Next we caught the ferry underneath the bridge to Circular Quay for some lunch. Students explored around the Opera House, and its gift shop, and more photo's were taken to add to the memories. Finally we ended our day with a walk through town to The Escape Hunt Experience where we split up in to two teams and battled it out to see who could find Harold Holt first! Then it was time to head to the airport where everyone enjoyed looking around the shops and of course getting some Krispy Kremes.

We hope everyone who joined us on the Sydney Tour had a great time and we are looking forward to going back to the Australian Dance Festival for 2019!
