A: The easiest way is for one person to book all the tickets (the system will allow you to do this).

​

Q: Do I need to purchase costumes for either Showcases? 

A: No, we tried to keep costs to a minimum.  As this is an event purely for the children to have a celebration of their hard work throughout the year - children only need to dance in Aspire uniform and then change into party outfits once they have danced.

​

Street dance and Drama: ANY Aspire uniform, e.g Aspire joggers, Aspire baseball shirt, any style Aspire crop top, Aspire shorts, Aspire leggings

Footwear: Black trainers or jazz shoes

​

Ballet / Tap: Aspire leotard with Aspire shorts, or for our younger students (prep/primary) Aspire leotard with skirt.

Ballet Footwear: Ballet tights and ballet shoes

Tap Footwear: Black ankle socks and black tap shoes

​

Lyrical / contemporary / modern: Aspire leotard with Aspire shorts (and Aspire crop top if required)

Footwear: Bare feet or Foot undies / Pirouette shoes (only if you prefer to wear them rather than bare feet)

​

Hair in a low pony tail for all dances.

 

Q: I can’t afford to buy ball gowns or prom type dresses for my family, what do I do?

A: You may dress to fit the theme of the showcase, or formal wear or whatever you are comfortable wearing. We do not expect anyone to purchase expensive outfits.

​

Q: The tickets are more expensive on the front row, why is this?

A: We tried to make the event as affordable as we possibly could for everyone and as similar to theatre settings - we didn’t feel it fair to charge people sitting on the back row of tables the same price as those tables with a front row view. 

 

Q: Can my child just attend to perform and then leave?

A: Unfortunately this isn’t possible as we have secured the event and prices on the basis people attend the entire evening.

 

Q: Can we attend without having to purchase the meal?

A: As above unfortunately no, the venue is secured with the meal inclusive.

 

Q: Do we get to choose our meal?

A: The meal choices will be listed with ticket type so please select which option you would prefer. You can also find the link to choose your food options at the bottom of this page (please only complete this form once you have purchased tickets).

 

Q: Can my child attend on their own?

A: The venue has confirmed that anyone aged 16 or under would require a chaperone so a minimum of one ticketed adult would need to attend with each child.

​

Q: What time do I need to start queuing?

A: The great news is the seats are already chosen so no one need arrive earlier than necessary.

​

Q: I won a trophy at the last showcase, do I need to return this?

A: No. All showcase trophies are for the award winners to keep.

​

Q: Will there be a DVD of this showcase?

A: We are very pleased to tell you that we do have a videographer attending the showcases this year and we will be sending the footage once we receive it.
