CONCERT FAQ

We’ve compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to help you understand how the concert enrolment will work. If you’ve read this and still have questions, get in touch!

  • It’s a chance for our students to showcase all their hard work over the year. It’s for all levels even if you’ve only just started dancing!

    We take 10 weeks to learn a routine, organise costumes and then perform it on stage on November 22! 


    Our beginners always report that they are so glad they went for it and gave it go! We have a really supportive space so there's no need to be nervous to sign up, you're in good hands!

  • Enrolments open Monday August 18 and must close Monday September 8

    This is so our teachers can know their numbers, who they’re working with and we can organise costumes to fit everyone.

    Late fees will apply if you would like to sign up after this date - costume companies often pass on rush fees so we need to ensure 6P is not covering this.

  • Yes, by signing up to the concert you are committing to both shows and being at the theatre all day.

  • As mentioned in our concert information you will need to be at CCPAC at 4pm for our tech rehearsal.

    Please organise to leave work early as we want to get this done as quickly as possible.

    Teachers will be at the theatre earlier to plot lights so that when you arrive you can get yourself familiar with the space, where you need to stand on stage and to get at least two run throughs done.

    Making this a quick and easy process. We hope to block Act 1 and then run through with costumes so that students can practice any quick changes they may have. Then move on to ACT 2.

    We hope to have you all out of the theatre by 9:45pm.

  • You won’t need to be at the theatre until about 11:30am.

    This will give you time to find a spot for your things and for our warm up on stage. The first concert is at 1pm.

    The running time of our concert is usually about an hour and a half with a 20 minute interval.

    Our 1pm show will be a bit quicker as there will be no awards.

    Our 7pm show will have a little speech and awards - don’t worry we only have three awards and we are pretty pro by now to make it quick!… We hate the sitting around too!

  • A payment plan option is available at checkout. You need to use your web browser (not the app) to be able to select these.

    Please note the first payment is slightly higher to enable timely purchase of costumes.

  • No, unfortunately you can not.

    There are casual classes still running in this time so we hope you can join us in those.

  • If you change your mind within the first three weeks of the enrolment course, you can request a partial refund, excluding the costume hire fee and initial three weeks of classes.

    Requests after the first three weeks will not be refundable without a valid medical certificate.

  • Yes, there are a still some classes running as casual/drop-in classes. Check out our timetable/sign-up page!

  • Your fee for enrolment covers classes, blocking rehearsal, costume hire, your contribution towards theatre hire plus photos and videos for you to keep and share of the performance! We also provide a Concert Viewing Party after the show where we meet at Dendy Cinemas Canberra for canapés and drinks then head into a cinema to watch all your hard work. It’s a heap of fun and a great way to celebrate with your cast mates and teacher.

    Unfortunately, we cannot provide class credits for any absences from these classes.

  • Unlimited dance passes will be suspended during the concert enrolment period.

    We will contact weekly dance pass holders to confirm if they want to suspend their dance pass.

  • All 5 & 10 Class Pass holders will be contacted with the new schedule. If you’re still unable to attend classes during the concert term, your pass will be extended till after the concert term to allow you to use it again.

  • If you miss up to two classes, you will need to catch up using video recordings and talking to your fellow students. Groups are created at the start of the rehearsals period to share videos and questions, etc.

    If you are due to be away for more than two classes, please email to discuss whether you will be able to keep up. If you miss too many classes it may not be possible for you to perform, however, this will be assessed on a case by case basis and may depend on teacher availability for catch up sessions. Catch-up sessions are done at the private lessons rate of $85 per hour.

    Unfortunately, we cannot provide class credits for absences for these classes.

  • By running the concert pieces as an enrolment, we ensure all performers can make it to class sessions. Having a consistent group enables choreographers to position dancers and helps everyone feel confident to learn the full piece in time.

    While we will miss any dancers who are unable to attend during this time, we hope to see you back after the concert!
