8 / Concerts
The opportunity to perform in a concert is an exciting, empowering and confidence-building part of the training process. This is where we love to watch our students learn about the theatre, rehearsals and teamwork while they enjoy the opportunity to showcase their skills in a professionally run production. Concerts are a wonderful way for students to showcase the results of their hard work and for family and friends to join in the pride of their achievement. We love giving all students the chance to perform for their family and friends in this supportive and fun environment and encourage even our youngest and newest performers to be involved.
Dance Sensations also holds 2 shows per year. Firstly, a Mid Year Showcase held at Kiama Pavilion. The display is a relaxed chance for parents, family and friends to see what the students have achieved in Terms 1 and 2. Costuming is not required for this performance as students wear their class uniform.
The End of year concert is a professional display of dance enhanced by amazing costumes, special effects and lighting that is held at the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre in Nowra. Please see above for details regarding dates.
Each class will begin learning their concert routine at the beginning of Term 3. The students work on this each week in class, developing their skills in the process and learning the importance of rehearsal, commitment, performance techniques and teamwork.
Rather than making parents pay hundreds of dollars buying costumes that their children will only wear once, we use a hire system for our concert costumes. Over the last 10 years Dance Sensations Kiama has built up quite an extensive costume library, which we add to each year with new custom-made costumes. Dance Sensations transports the costumes to and from the concert and rehearsal and also cleans, repairs and alters all the costumes. This process saves parents from the stress and hassle of having to buy, sew, alter and accessorize their child’ s costumes in the busy pre-Christmas season.
