Never miss a chance to dance!
Our last day of term 1 went out with a bang! We held two disco's at the studio after class for our students to have a dance, play some games and meet new friends.
We saw some lovely fancy dress costumes and the students had a blast playing games like musical bobs, musical statues, limbo, hula hoop competitions and dance-offs.
The funds raised from the disco will go towards purchasing props and costume accessories for our mid-year concerts in July.
On Sunday 2nd of April a selection of our elite students attended the Excelsior Primary School Fair to perform for the public. We had a mix of routines including our elite hip hop troupe, elite jazz troupe, intermediate ballet class, intermediate hip hop class, intermediate jazz class, senior jazz class, toddler jazz class and a solo lyrical dance performed by our Student Of The Year, Gemma.
The students had worked hard prior to the fete practising their dances at the studio and making changes to accommodate the performance space. We are very proud of everyone who participated and thank them for representing Showtime HMS Performing Arts so well.
Our next performance will be held at John Wollaston College on Saturday 6th May at 1:00pm.

John Wollastan Anglican Community School in Kelmscott held their annual fair on Saturday 6th April and Showtime HMS Performing Arts was the only dance school invited to perform. Our students aged from 4yrs to 15yrs performed a mix of routines in Jazz, Hip Hop, Ballet and Contemporary dance.
The students put on an outstanding show for their audience and we had great reports from the audience on their performance skills and professionalism during the event.
Thank you to John Wollaston for having us! Photo's from the day can be viewed on our Facebook album.
On Saturday 3rd December we had 36 students and 2 parents perform in the Perth RAC Christmas Pageant. After missing out last year when the pageant was cancelled due to poor weather our students were extremely excited for this years event. Throughout the week students had been coming to rehearsals to practise their performance and get used to dancing whilst always travelling forward. This year Showtime HMS were lucky enough to also have students on the Peter Pan Pirate Ship float and be involved with a photo shoot and interview for The West Australian newspaper.
It was a long cold wait on the street before the pageant however once it begins it is all worth it as the students had so much fun! It was great to see so many of our Showtime family in the audience cheering us on, we thank you for coming along especially since the weather didn't start off so great.
We are so proud of our Showtime students who participated. We watched the televised pageant the next day and everyone looked amazing in their sailor and pirate costumes. The students danced beautifully and had the biggest smiles the whole time. We had a great shot on TV this year and were so happy to be involved once again. We can't wait until next year!
If you missed it you can see a clip of Showtime dancing below.
Friday 2nd December was once again the Armadale Christmas Parade for the Carols By Candlelight. Showtime students performed a re-mix of "All I Want For Christmas" for the Armadale public down Jull Street and towards Minnawarra Park. The students looked lovely in their Christmas themed costumes and with our new pageant signs being held by two of our younger performers. Congratulations to those who participated for another seamless performance.
Wow what an awesome concert we had! Congratulations to everyone who performed. Students were very professional on stage and behind the scenes and their costumes looked absolutely stunning!
A big thank you to all of the helpers involved in putting together this concert. We couldn't do it without you!
Congratulations to the students who passed their medal exams and received their trophies at the end of the concert and also a big congratulations to our Student Of The Year winner, Gemma Morgan!
Concert photo's are now online at www.photo.david-mueller.com and if you havn't ordered a DVD contact us to do so.
Now to get ready for the Armadale and Perth Christmas Pageants!
On Wednesday 5th October we held a full day workshop with our friends James Barry & Neale Whittaker from Phly Crew.
Phly Crew are a hip hop crew based in Sydney who were recently the finalists on TV show Australia's Got Talent 2016 and also reached the finals back in 2009 as a duo.
This is the 3rd consecutive year we have been lucky enough to have the boys come to Perth to work with our students and it is always a fun filled day of humor and dancing. Also teaching for our workshop were local stars Alexander Mooney (Battlegrounds Sydney & Singapore) and Shanice Thompson (Grease The Musical, Telethon).
Students participated in jazz, contemporary, hip hop, break-dance and urban technique classes and ended with a Q&A with James and Neale to learn a bit more about show business and Phly Crew history.
We are so thankful for this opportunity and hope everyone had a great time! We look forward to seeing Phly Crew next year at the Australian Dance Festival and hope to have them back at Showtime HMS in the near future.
