Due to us being in a completely new venue this year, we have decided to add a show venue stage rehearsal.
Ideally we would like ALL performers to attend our venue rehearsal at the Loreburn Hall. If you are in the country, we strongly advise all dancers to make it as a priority although we do understand that in some cases this may not be possible.
This 2 hour rehearsal is drop off only. This means parents are not allowed to stay.
There is a £5 stage rehearsal fee. In order to reduce admin time on this fee collection, we require everyone in attendance to pay at the door in cash on the night of the rehearsal.
Again to reduce admin time, you do not need to tell us in writing ahead of time if your child will be attending or not. We will note a register of attendance on the night as dancers enter.
We will assume that parents understand the importance of this venue rehearsal and will expect full numbers where possible.
We are delighted to have Iona come back to our studios to deliver a Summer Dance Camp to our dancers after completion of her first year at professional dance college. We look forward to having her deliver all her new found knowledge to our dancers for an entire day of dance & activities.
This senior workshop is tailored to our 9-12yrs & teens.

This Summer we will be taking to the stage for an informal sharing to show our families what we have been working on in class. Each class will perform one dance each in their dance uniform.
There will be no kids backstage at this Summer Sharing. The idea is that all of our dancers can watch each other. All dancers will be sat on the floor at the front facing the stage and each child can bring 2 guests to watch as the audience on the seats behind.
We invite the entire school from Pre-school to Teens to be involved in this Summer Sharing. This is an ‘opt out’ event. This means we will assume all dancers will take part in the Summer Sharing unless they tell us otherwise. We look forward to another opportunity to show our families what else we work on throughout the year in addition to our Annual LIVE show at Christmas time.
All dancers who attend will receive a medal for their participation in our sharing. This will be a fantastic event for all dancers and their families and we are really looking forward to putting it together for you all.
There is an entry & participation fee of £15 per child. This fee includes 2 tickets to the event. This fee will automatically be taken on 1st June unless you tell us that your child would not like to participate in our Summer Sharing. Please let us know by Wednesday 29th May in order to avoid the entry & participation fee being collected.
Due to limited space in the venue, we have to limit it to 2 tickets per child. If any tickets are left after these have been allocated, the rest of the tickets will go on sale on Saturday 8th June on our Facebook family group and will be allocated on a first come first served basis via comments on our post which will go live at 8am on Saturday 8th June.
Additional tickets cost £8.00
We look forward to seeing you there!!
