Star Struck Dance Challenge 2018

Showtime HMS Competitions ,

This year we sent our students off to a new set of competitions, Star Struck Dance Challenge, held over a Friday night and Sunday. It was a lovely, friendly weekend competing against different dance schools that we don't usually see at our regular competitions so we got to make some great new friends as well! Everyone also loved being able to watch the other performers and their peers throughout the competition.

Our students shone on stage as per usual, and the results were amazing. We were blown away when Gemma & Tylah received the award for 2nd highest overall score in the senior duo/trio section with their Neo-Classical duo.

Star Search Festival 2018

Showtime HMS Competitions ,

Over the first week of school holidays 24 of our students braved the competition scene at the Star Search Dance Festival. Going on stage knowing you are being judged & graded is so much harder than going on stage just to perform for an audience so we salute all our students that had the courage to get up there!

Coming home with a placing or honourable mention is a great achievement and of course exciting for the students, however as a teacher the best part about the last week at competitions was seeing our students support each other and take the time out of their holidays to come watch and cheer on their peers. Showtime staff have been so proud of all students and parents involved.

We have also had many students who in the past didn't have the confidence to compete with a solo whom now, after dancing with their peers in duo's & trio's, are keen to get out there themselves and do a solo for the next set of competitions. This is what competitions is all about, it doesn't matter if you win or not, but the confidence and stage experience you gain by being involved is priceless! Great work Showtime!!!

Results:

2nd Place - 18/O National Solo Novice (Jennifer.C)
2nd Place - 15/U Tap Solo Novice (Jennifer.B)
2nd Place - 9/U Hip Hop Solo Novice (Ciara-Mae)
2nd Place - 9/U Hip Hop Trio (Ashleigh, Ivy & Olivia)
3rd Place - 15/U Neo Classical Duo (Gemma & Tylah)
3rd Place - 15/U Hip Hop Duo (Liliana & Monique)
3rd Place - 11/U Hip Hop Troupe
3rd Place - 11/U Song & Dance Solo Novice (Braydee)

RAC Christmas Pageant 2017

Showtime HMS Performances , , ,

The 45th annual RAC Christmas Pageant was held on Saturday 2nd December. Showtime HMS Performing Arts were lucky enough to once again be selected to perform in the streets of Perth.

This year we had 27 dancers all dressed in bright & colourful candy themed costumes to match the Candy House float. We had students dressed as gingerbread men, candy canes, licorice allsorts and smarties, all with fun candy headpieces!

The students had a great time and we had the best weather this year, not too hot and not too cold!

A longer route to dance than previous years however all of our students did us proud and kept smiling the whole way. We could hear the children in the audience getting excited over our licorice allsorts head pieces and having a giggle at Miss Sophie in her full piece Gingerbread costume.

Channel 7 gave us some wonderful air time on TV Sunday night of our girls dancing and waving. 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.
