Christmas Pageants 2023

In 2022 we welcomed back the Armadale Christmas parade which had taken a break for the past 2 years due to covid, however now it had moved to a Saturday evening meaning it was a very busy day for the Showtime HMS team. We had two groups of performers with one at the Armadale parade and the other performing at the Perth Alinta Christmas Pageant.

For many of our students this was their first ever Christmas pageant performance so it was a very exciting time! Our students dressed in a range of Christmas themed costumes and danced down the streets of Armadale & Perth.

Congratulations to all that participated and we hope it got you in the Christmas spirit ready for the holiday season ahead.

We were lucky to get a lot of screen time on Channel 7's presentation of the Perth Pageant, if you missed it you can watch below.

Own Choreography Competitions

With our Mid Year Concert cancelled and our Music Video finished we decided to bring back our private dance competition from 2020, Show Struck Dance Quest. This year we invited our friends at Academy Dance & Elegance to join us and invited Brooke, former owner of Star Struck Dance Studio to be the judge.

Students competed using their own choreography or their teacher choreographed competition routines. We divided the categories to ensure results were fair for everyone and the judging criteria varied depending on if the routine was self-choreographed or taught by a teacher. We saw some amazing routines filled with creativity and entertaining performances from both studios. We are very proud of all students who got up there and showed us their love for dance with the results they achieved.

Some of our students then went and entered their self-choreographed routines in to the State Dance Association Student Choreography Online Competition. We filmed their live performances at Show Struck and submitted them for the online competition.

We Made A Music Video

2022 started with a lot of uncertainties as Covid finally hit Perth. We were hit with new restrictions and an unknown time frame on when they would be removed. Due to this we made the tough decision to cancel our Mid Year Concert for 2022 and instead just have one huge celebration for our 25th Birthday at the End-of-Year Concert.

So now we had all this time on our hands we decided to do something new and different, we were going to make a music video! After a lot of brainstorming and meetings amongst our teachers we decided on doing two different music videos, one to represent our Ballet, Lyrical & Contemporary classes, and another for our Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap, Musical Theatre & Acro classes.

All of our students started learning routines in their regular classes over the next 5 weeks in preparation for recording day. This was still a time of masks and venue restrictions so we made the decision that filming would be done outdoors to ensure these restrictions didn't affect the day, although it would always be a juggle with mother nature and many students asked "What happens if it rains?". The answer being "The show must go on!".

Fortunately we were blessed with absolutely perfect weather on the day of filming. We chose to film nearby at Champion Lakes so we could utilise the beautiful scenery - we even had a few ducks make an appearance.

The day was such a success and so fun for everyone. We filmed both videos on the one day, from 8am to 2pm at two different parts of the lake. Family members of the students came a long with picnic blankets and watched the day unfold and their children in action. It was a great experience for everyone, the younger students watched in awe as the seniors and staff performed their routines and every single person cheered on the juniors with enthusiasm.

I would like to say a special thank you to Miss Gemma & Miss Tylah for choreographing and directing the "Home" routine for our Ballet, Lyrical & Contemporary students, they put so much time and effort in to this. To the CLRA committee for opening up the hub to give our students access to a bathroom and parents access to tea and coffee. Payton for assisting with filming and directing and also Keith & Ryan for filming via drone.

We are so excited to present our two videos which can be viewed on our YouTube channel and below. We even made a fun behind the scenes/blooper reel so you can see what a great day we all had. As we celebrate our 25th year this year it was really lovely to do something different and have these memories forever.

"Home" - Our Ballet, Lyrical & Contemporary Video.

"Never Miss A Chance T0 Dance" - Our Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap, Musical Theatre & Acro Video.

Alinta Christmas Pageant 2021

In 2020 we took a break from performing in the Christmas pageant due to Covid-19 but this year we were back!

Saturday December 4th marked the occasion. The city of Perth was all lit up and families were lined up in the streets to watch the performances. A select few of our Showtime students participated and were dressed up in Christmas colours, a mix of sparkly green and red costumes. Dancing to Christmas carols down the streets of Perth is a great way to get in to the Christmas spirit and we love being a part of the Alinta Christmas Pageant each year.

We would like to congratulate our students on how well they danced and represented Showtime HMS.

Champion Lakes Christmas Party

In December, our students received the opportunity to perform for our local community at a Christmas Party at Champion Lakes. The locals loved our performers as much as our students loved dancing amongst them in a joyous family event. Our Jazz exam 2, jazz exam 3, beginner hip hop and pre-primary jazz classes all performed beautifully with smiles all around! Well done to all those who participated!

Show Struck Dance Quest

In recognition of the inability of our students to compete in many competitions during 2020 Showtime HMS and Star Struck Dance Studio formed a private dance competition for both studios’ students. Students competed using their own choreography in front of family and friends at the Armadale Town Hall. We saw some amazing routines filled with creativity and entertaining performances from both studios. We are very proud of all students who got up there and showed us their love for dance with the results they achieved.

Some of our students from Showtime were selected from their impressive performances to showcase their routines at our annual end of year concert.

Junior concert selected routines:

  • Havana and Isabelle Jazz Duo
  • Braydee Audrain Contemporary Solo
  • Leah Booth Jazz Solo
  • Hteemoowah Hansen Hip Hop Solo

Senior concert selected routines:

  • Hayley Dorrington Contemporary Solo
  • Nivrithi Arun Hip Hop Solo
  • The Portier Family Trio

Christmas Pageants 2019

On the 6th and 7th of December a group of Showtime students had the chance to dance in the Armadale and Alinta Perth Christmas pageants. All dressed up in Christmas colours, sparkly green, red and candy cane costumes, our students danced down Jull Street in Armadale and St George’s Terrace in Perth with big smiles. We would like to congratulate our students on how well they danced in both pageants and represented Showtime HMS.
