DanceArts presents our 2024 Annual Academy Performance Games Night!
Performers will immerse you into the exhilarating world of playful competition.
Through dynamic choreography and vibrant themes inspired by various games and sports, our performers will entertain spectators with their infectious energy and spirit.
Our Academy and Petite Students have been working hard toward this performance throughout the year to bring to you what will be a captivating performance. So sit back, relax and enjoy the spirit of the Game!
Taking of Photographs and Video
This year we are so grateful to have our performance being captured professionally by videographer, Aiden Nielsen. Therefore, the taking of Photographs and Video on any personal recording device, including phones, is both unnecessary and prohibited during our performance. Each student will receive access to their photos and the performance video in due course.
Please also ensure all mobile phones are switched to silent.
We thank you in advance for your respect
Post-Performance Pickup Procedure
To ensure the safe collection of our dancers at the end of their performance, we ask that one parent per dancer stay in the auditorium at the end of the show. We would appreciate other audience members making their way to the foyer, courtyard or carpark.
Once students have collected their items backstage, they will be escorted to the auditorium (to the door at the left of the stage).
Parents are asked to collect their child from the stage and exit up the side aisles and out to the carpark.
A Message from the Principal of DanceArts
Our Annual Performance brings plenty of opportunity to reflect on the amazing year we have already had in 2024. It has certainly been a year of growth and achievement at DanceArts, with many new opportunities for our students. The start of our 2024 season began with our new Assistant Teaching Program ‘Dance Hearts’ with 27 wonderful Hearts assisting in our younger classes. In April, we saw our Ballet Assessment students complete their Ballet Conservatoire graded examinations in our first year running this syllabus. Our Prima Ensemble participated in CanDance for a Cure’s fundraising event at the Adelaide Entertainment Center, we ran Junior and Academy Holiday winter workshops, as well as raising funds for Beyond Blue during our Wear Blue Week. We have extended students with our new Performance groups for all ages, as well as private tuition to name just a few. 2024 has certainly been a year of building strong connections. The addition of performance groups as well as our combined classes and the Dance Hearts program has shown the beauty in working together and helping those around you. It has been beautiful watching new friendships across all levels build and the positivity everyone has for one another. This is something I am truly proud of and love to see this continue to strengthen. I hope you enjoy seeing this strength on stage and look forward to sharing the dedication of our students and team on stage this evening. Happy Games Night!

This show would not have been successful if each of these amazing people didn’t go above and beyond of what is required of them. Words of gratitude are not enough to express how thankful I am that they are by mine, and the DanceArts community’s, side. Their dedication and passion has greatly assisted in creating my values and vision, and I thank you all for continuing to do so.
