2024 was an incredibly busy and rewarding year on the competition circuit for Showtime HMS Performing Arts. Our dancers competed across multiple festivals and challenges, gaining valuable stage experience, confidence and outstanding results.
Rather than focusing only on placings, competitions are about growth, resilience and teamwork – and we saw all of that on display throughout the year. From first-time competitors stepping on stage for the very first time to seasoned performers achieving top results, we couldn’t be prouder.
