Spring Performances

Showtime HMS Performances , , , , ,

Spring has been a busy time for Showtime HMS students!

On Saturday 27th October we were invited to perform for the Forrestdale Primary School 40th Anniversary Fair. For many of our students it was a busy day with their regular classes in the morning and then straight to the fair to perform at 2:30pm. That's what we call dedication! It was a beautiful day and our competition and specially selected dancers looked stunning on stage.

But that wasn't the end of it for many of our students! Most went on to perform the following day for the Piara Waters Community Festival. The City of Armadale had invited Showtime HMS to perform and get involved with their interactive stalls for the day. At the Showtime HMS stall we were teaching community members how to moonwalk. It was so exciting to see many youngsters, and adults, get involved and give it a go. We received great feedback from the audience regarding our students on stage performance and are so proud of their professionalism at both events on the weekend.

Coming next is our performance at Friday Night Bites on the 2nd November - As we said, it's a busy time at Showtime HMS but we wouldn't have it any other way!

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.

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 Hip Hop Duo (Liliana & Monique)
3rd Place - 11/U Hip Hop Troupe
3rd Place - 11/U Song & Dance Solo Novice (Braydee)

Mid Year Concerts – Lights, Camera, Action!

Showtime HMS Concerts ,

Saturday 30th June was the big day of our mid-year concerts, both on the same day!

Lights, Camera, Action was a performance of routines to music from popular TV shows, movies and musicals. Students showcased what they have learnt all semester and boy was it great!

Teachers and Showtime staff are so proud of everyone who got up on stage and gave us their all. We saw so many smiles out on that stage and also a lot of fun and bonding to be had backstage. Concerts really bring the school together and it's so great to see everyone working as a team.

RAC Christmas Pageant 2017

Showtime HMS Performances , , ,

The 45th annual RAC Christmas Pageant was held on Saturday 2nd December. Showtime HMS Performing Arts were lucky enough to once again be selected to perform in the streets of Perth.

This year we had 27 dancers all dressed in bright & colourful candy themed costumes to match the Candy House float. We had students dressed as gingerbread men, candy canes, licorice allsorts and smarties, all with fun candy headpieces!

The students had a great time and we had the best weather this year, not too hot and not too cold!

A longer route to dance than previous years however all of our students did us proud and kept smiling the whole way. We could hear the children in the audience getting excited over our licorice allsorts head pieces and having a giggle at Miss Sophie in her full piece Gingerbread costume.

Channel 7 gave us some wonderful air time on TV Sunday night of our girls dancing and waving. Congratulations to everyone at Showtime involved with the planning, rehearsals, costumes and the performers - we are so proud of the outcome. We also wish to thank the Channel 7 team for having us for another year in the Christmas Pageant, we look forward to applying again next year.
