Both 1st Term and 2nd Term are guaranteed to receive 14 weeks, including a technical rehearsal and recital in both terms, and photography day in the 2nd Term. We are running 16-19 weeks in Terms 1 & 2 (depending on which day your dancer has classes). Should there be a day of classes we have to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, classes will not be made up unless we fall beneath our allotted 14 weeks/term.

Who: All non-competitive & competitive dancers

Where: Alderney Landing Theatre

Number Of Shows: Depending on final registration numbers in the fall, we may have to hold two shows on Dec 8th. If so, we will likely split our classes by the day they dance on. So one show would be for Saturday dancers and the second for Sunday dancers. Families should keep this in mind when registering more than one child for classes, in case they choose to register their children for different days. In the situation of two shows being held, competitive dancers will likely perform in both shows.
-
Tickets: Each family will be auto-invoiced for two adult tickets to our Winter Show. Additional tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. Families not requiring their auto-purchased tickets may sell them to another family as needed.
-
Costumes: All Term 1 dancers will be expected to rent a winter show costume. Rented costumes cost a maximum of $30/dancer/class taken, and dancers return costumes after the show. If your dancer participates in more than one class, such as Hip Hop and an Acro class, they have two costumes to rent. If they take three classes, there will be three costumes and so on. We do our best to keep costume fees as low as possible. Sometimes we utilize items from home to save money for this show such as holiday pjs. Costume invoices are sent in late October with costume payments due by November 15, 2024.
