End Of Year Concerts – 5,6,7,8!

Who can believe another year has passed and with it another set of end of year concerts!?

Both of our concerts were held at John Curtin College on Saturday 15th December with a matinee for the juniors, and evening show for the seniors. The day went off without a hitch, running on schedule and no hiccups throughout the day.

We couldn't be prouder of the outcome - We have received so many wonderful reports from family, friends and students who all said these were our best concerts yet and the students had such a great time being involved.

Armadale Christmas Parade 2018

Showtime HMS Performing Arts were once again a part of the Armadale Christmas Parade on Friday 7th December down Jull Street.

Our students were dressed in Red, Green & Silver Christmas themed costumes as they danced their way down the mall. We saw so many of our families and friends in the audience cheering us on which was great to see!

A photo of our students even made it in to the Examiner Newspaper.

Visit our Facebook album for more photo's from the parade.

RAC Christmas Pageant 2018

Another Christmas brings another Christmas Pageant!

This year we had 27 vintage/1920's themed dancers leading the old Swan River Paddle Steamer along the parade. Dressed in vintage flapper costumes and top & tail coats our performers were stunning. As well as our dancers we were lucky enough to have 8 of our students invited to sit on the pirate ship float with Peter Pan & Captain Feathersword.

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.

Next up is the Armadale Christmas Parade! We cant wait!

Showtime HMS Finalist in Business Armadale Awards

This week Showtime HMS received the exciting news that we have been recognised as a finalist for the 2018 Business Excellence Awards for the category Employer of Choice.

The Business Armadale & Examiner Newspaper awards night will be held on Friday 16th November at Araluen Botanic Park where the winners will be announced.

At Showtime HMS we pride ourselves on being able to offer employment opportunities to young people so they can follow their dreams and work in an industry they are passionate about. Our student teacher program helps our students develop the necessary skills to one day become a dance teacher should they wish to take that path, and this year one of our long term student teachers, Gemma, has excelled in the program. After successful application and interviewing Gemma will be joining the Showtime HMS teaching team for 2019.

We cannot be prouder to be nominated and selected as a finalist for this award.

Friday Night Bites

Friday 2nd November was our first performance at Friday Night Bites.

Friday Night Bites is a food truck event in Harrisdale run by Little Market Place and Showtime HMS were invited to perform for the public in November and again in January.

Our performance team entertained the public with 8 routines combined of jazz, lyrical, hip hop, musical theatre and ballet. We had a range of students aged from 8yrs up to 24yrs perform on the night.

It was a chilly night and dancing on grass is never the easiest however our professional team of dancers made it work and wowed the audience.

See us perform again on Friday 18th January!

Spring 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!

Kwinana Dance Festival 2018
