In September 2024, Showtime HMS travelled to Sydney to attend the Australian Dance Festival, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

The tour included 11 students and 4 amazing parent helpers, travelling from Thursday through to Monday. This trip was made possible thanks to months of dedicated fundraising throughout the year, with students and families working together to raise funds and make this opportunity accessible.

During the festival, our dancers participated in incredible workshops led by industry professionals and watched inspiring performances and shows. These experiences gave our students valuable insight into the wider dance world and motivated them to continue growing both technically and artistically.

Monday was all about sightseeing and celebrating the end of a big week. Highlights included exploring Sydney and, for some of our brave students, climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge – an experience they’ll be talking about for years to come.

We are so proud of how our students represented Showtime HMS throughout the trip and grateful to the families who helped make it such a success. We can't wait for our next trip in 2027!

On Sunday 6^th of October Aimee and Neale came to Showtime HMS to give our students an opportunity to participate in a workshop. Resulting in Professionals teaching combos and new tricks. Workshops are always a great experience that are so much fun.

These workshops were available for a range of ages as they had a junior/beginner workshop for those aged 9-12-year old’s and a senior workshop for those dancers 12 years or older.

The workshops consisted of a fun Sunday filled with 2 hours of dancing fun. The juniors learned lyrical with Aimee and jazz/funk/hip hop with Neale while the seniors learned jazz with Neale and lyrical with Aimee. As well as the students workshops the teachers of Showtime HMS were in for a treat with a 1-hour private staff workshop which both Aimee and Neale ran together to teach the Showtime teachers’ and student teachers new tricks and teaching techniques.

We love having Phly Crew at Showtime HMS and can't wait to have them back again soon!

Phly Crew Holiday Workshop

Showtime HMS Workshops October 5, 2016April 16, 2018Phly Crew, Workshop

On Wednesday 5th October we held a full day workshop with our friends James Barry & Neale Whittaker from Phly Crew.

Phly Crew are a hip hop crew based in Sydney who were recently the finalists on TV show Australia's Got Talent 2016 and also reached the finals back in 2009 as a duo.

This is the 3rd consecutive year we have been lucky enough to have the boys come to Perth to work with our students and it is always a fun filled day of humor and dancing. Also teaching for our workshop were local stars Alexander Mooney (Battlegrounds Sydney & Singapore) and Shanice Thompson (Grease The Musical, Telethon).

Students participated in jazz, contemporary, hip hop, break-dance and urban technique classes and ended with a Q&A with James and Neale to learn a bit more about show business and Phly Crew history.

We are so thankful for this opportunity and hope everyone had a great time! We look forward to seeing Phly Crew next year at the Australian Dance Festival and hope to have them back at Showtime HMS in the near future.
