Dance Comps

2025 was an incredible year on the competition circuit for Showtime HMS – and also a very emotional one, marking the end of an era for our competition program.

After many years of jaw-dropping performances, dedication and success, our dynamic duo Miss Gemma & Miss Tylah officially retired from competitive dancing. While they are hanging up their competition shoes, we are lucky to still have them teaching and inspiring our students every week.

The concert featured a vibrant mix of styles, ages, and talents — from tiny tots beaming in their first performance to senior students delivering polished, passionate routines. The atmosphere backstage and in the audience was electric, as students performed for proud family and friends.

We are incredibly proud of each performer and grateful to our dedicated teachers and volunteers who make these events possible.

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.

We are so proud of every dancer who took part in competitions throughout 2024 and grateful to our families for their ongoing support.

On Saturday 29th June 2024, Showtime HMS held its mid-year showcase Unstoppable — a celebration of strength, resilience, and the power of women. The theme Women in Power inspired a bold and empowering program, and our students certainly rose to the occasion.

With stunning costumes, high-energy routines, and confident performances across all styles and age groups, the show was a true display of just how much our dancers can achieve in just half a year. It was incredible to see students stepping out of their comfort zones, trying new things, and embracing the spotlight.

We also took the opportunity to recognise students who have shown outstanding dedication and growth in their classes so far this year.

On Saturday 16th December 2023, our Showtime HMS performers took to the stage for our annual end-of-year concert — Born To Perform. It was a spectacular day filled with passion, energy, and so many proud moments as our students showcased everything they’ve been working towards all year.

From our tiniest dancers to our senior students, each performer lit up the stage with confidence and joy. For many, it was their very first time performing in front of an audience — and they did so with incredible bravery and spirit. We are beyond proud of every single student who took part.

Our dedicated staff were thrilled to see the growth in performance skills, technique, and stage presence across all age groups. It’s always a special moment to witness students come alive under the lights, and Born To Perform certainly lived up to its name!

The concert was a perfect way to end another wonderful year at Showtime HMS. Thank you to our students, families, teachers, assistants and volunteers for making it such a memorable day. We now enjoy a well-earned break before another exciting year begins in 2024!

October was a busy month for our dancers with three sets of competitions to attend, the last for 2023.

First up was Kwinana Dance Festival which saw some great results and an invite to the awards night for a few of our students taking home some overall awards for their achievements. We also had a few young dancers take to the stage for their first ever solo, Mia, and first time doing improvisation, Zoey. Congratulations to Braydee who received a cash prize for her 1st Place Musical Theatre Solo as well as the Highest Scoring Musical Theatre Overall.

We then had the new Performance Synergy Festival held in Armadale. This was such a lovely competition with a really fresh and fun vibe. We especially loved how close it was to us! Congratulations to our students who embraced something new by competing and participating in the workshops.

Finally the very last of the competition season for 2023 was the Express Dance Challenge championships. This was invite only for those students who competed at Express early in the year and received an invitation for their outstanding routines, so we got to see the best of the best go head to head! Congratulations to Miss Gemma & Miss Tylah on your outstanding results in such a tough competition!
