End of Year Concert 2025 – Centre Stage

Showtime HMS Concerts, Performances

Our End of Year Concert in December 2025 was one filled with emotion, celebration and reflection. Titled “Centre Stage,” this concert marked our final ever performance at the John Curtin Theatre after more than 10 years of unforgettable memories. Truly, the end of an era.

To make the occasion even more special, the concert was a sell-out, filling the theatre with energy, excitement and support from our Showtime HMS community. Seeing generations of dancers take the stage in a venue that has been such a huge part of our studio’s history was incredibly meaningful.

“Centre Stage” celebrated every dancer – their journey, their growth and their moment to shine. It was a powerful way to close this chapter and look ahead to what’s next for Showtime HMS.

Christmas Pageants 2025

Showtime HMS Performances , , , ,

Christmas 2025 brought something truly special for Showtime HMS Performing Arts – a year where scale, creativity and resilience all came together.

Both the Armadale Christmas Parade and the Perth Alinta Energy Christmas Pageant saw our dancers take to the streets once again, but with an exciting new visual element added to our performances. This year, we introduced Isis wings paired with fairy lights, creating a stunning effect as our costumes lit up the night. The glowing wings added an extra layer of magic and made our group impossible to miss, especially during the evening performances.

The Armadale parade also came with new challenges, featuring a new date and route and taking place on an extremely hot 40-degree day. Despite the conditions, our performers showed incredible determination and professionalism. We were proud to field the largest parade group, with 36 dancers performing together in fabulous Christmas costumes, moving as one and bringing festive energy to the crowd from start to finish.

Our appearance at the Perth Alinta Energy Christmas Pageant once again gave students the unforgettable experience of performing at a major televised event. Seeing our dancers featured on TV was a thrill for families at home and a moment of pride for everyone involved.

2025 was a year that truly showcased how far our parade performances have evolved – bigger groups, bold creative choices and dancers who continue to shine no matter the conditions.

Celebrating Miss Miranda – Love, Loyalty & a Lifetime with SHMS

Showtime HMS Uncategorized

July 2025 was a very special time for our Showtime HMS family as we celebrated Miss Miranda’s wedding and first wedding anniversary.

Miss Miranda has truly been part of Showtime HMS since birth. Her older sister was one of our very first students, and when her mum Karen volunteered behind the scenes, Miranda would come along as a baby – enrolling as soon as she could walk. Over the years, Miranda has become one of our biggest supporters, always willing to help wherever needed (often alongside Kaleb!), and proudly showing her lifelong commitment with SHMS tattooed on her ankle.

In 2023, we were honored to help Kaleb plan the most unforgettable proposal – right on stage during our Mid-Year Concert. As Miranda turned around for her final pose, Kaleb ran on and got down on one knee. One year later, Miranda asked if they could elope at the studio, and it was an honor to witness such a meaningful moment.

A few weekends ago, they celebrated their marriage and one-year anniversary, and of course, SHMS had to be part of it – with Kaleb surprising Miranda with a flash mob dance to finish the night. A perfect reflection of love, dance and lifelong friendships.

Miss Caroline Ties the Knot

Showtime HMS Uncategorized

March 2025 saw a beautiful celebration of love within our Showtime HMS family, with Miss Caroline marrying Payton.

Caroline joined Showtime HMS at just 6 years old, and it has been incredibly special to watch her grow into the wonderful person she is today. Through a chance conversation at the dog park, Payton found her way back to dance and joined SHMS, where friendships quickly formed – including with Caroline.

The rest, as they say, is history. Their story is a beautiful reminder that the friendships formed at dance truly can last a lifetime. We are so grateful to have been part of their journey and honored to witness their special day.

 

Christmas Pageants 2024

Showtime HMS Performances , , , ,

The 2024 Christmas season was one to remember for Showtime HMS Performing Arts, with our dancers proudly taking part in not one, but two major Christmas pageants across Perth.

We kicked things off at the Armadale Christmas Parade, where our students brought festive energy, big smiles and Christmas spirit to the streets. Their hard work and enthusiasm paid off when we were awarded Second Place in the People’s Choice Award – a huge achievement and a moment we were incredibly proud of. Seeing the community support and cheer for our dancers was truly special.

Not long after, we headed into the city for the Perth Alinta Energy Christmas Pageant. Performing amongst such a large-scale, professional event was an amazing experience for our students. A definite highlight was spotting our dancers on television during the broadcast – an exciting moment for families watching at home and a memory our students won’t forget anytime soon.

Participating in both pageants was a wonderful way to finish the year, celebrating teamwork, confidence and the joy of performing for the community.
