Finale Rehearsal - Our Studio

8th November

Normal Studio Uniform/Dancewear

All students are required to participate in the finale, which will be taught and rehearsed on the 8th of November.

The finale is like the final bow – we choreograph a small, fun routine that the whole school does together, along with each class doing their own bows.

The finale is performed only at our 2nd concert, and all awards and presentations are done after this, while all of our students are on stage.

The kids love it – it's a fun celebration for them and a time to enjoy the applause.

All awards are given out after the finale at our second show, while we have the kids on stage.

A run-through of the finale will take place at the start of each of the rehearsals at The Art House (25th and 26th Nov).

All students will change into their CMDA uniform or colours at both concerts for the finale.

Many of our 2-3 year olds choose not to participate in the finale – they are missed, but we understand that they are only little and it's late. If your child isn't going to stay for the finale, please let me know.

If your child is in Who Let The Dogs Out or Hawaiian Roller Coaster, they don't need to do the finale rehearsal – they are welcome to, and some love it. It's just overwhelming for our little ones, as it’s the whole school.

They still need to come to their classes on that day though.

Let me know what works for you.

Could all parents please wait downstairs during rehearsals (unless your little one is worried and needs you). With the whole school in the studio, space is very limited. At the end of each rehearsal, our teachers, Dance Steppers, and I will bring students down and hand them over only once we’ve seen the parent/carer.

You will need to meet them at our blue door. We will not send kids across the road to you in the park, or if you are sitting in your car.

We’ll also have a few parents on duty between the studios and the front/back stairs. QR codes will be available downstairs for sign-in and sign-out. This is good practice for concert days, where parents won’t always be backstage.

If your child is not going straight to another class after rehearsal, they must remain upstairs with us — no trips to the shops, as we can’t supervise this. Please make sure your child knows what they’re doing.

Cost is $10 for the Finale Rehearsal and $15 capped fee if your child has their dance rehearsal after.
