Autumn Term News 2026
What an incredible start to the year it has been! We have loved welcoming everyone into the studio and getting back into the rhythm of classes for 2026. Our dancers have shown such dedication and commitment throughout the term, and we are so proud of the progress already being made. We can’t wait to share this with you at our Mid-Year Recital in June.
A huge congratulations to our Joan and Monica Halliday and Isobel Anderson Award representatives. You all did The Dance Space incredibly proud!
Special mention to Addison S and Shelby G who both progressed to the semi-finals of these prestigious competitions.
Mid-Year Recital 2026
We are excited to share that our Mid-Year Recital is fast approaching, and this year things are going to look a little different! This year we will be presenting two separate shows across two weekends at Liverpool Powerhouse, giving each group of dancers their time to shine on stage.
Our dancers aged 5 years and above will light up the stage in “Non-Stop 90s” on Sunday June 21st, bringing energy, fun, and plenty of nostalgic hits to the spotlight.
Our younger dancers will take part in “Alice in Wonderland”, a full ballet production featuring all ballet students from Grade 1 and above, including our Tiny Dancers, Budding Ballerinas, 2 Kool 4 Skool, and Pre-Primary Ballet classes. This magical performance will be held on Sunday June 28th.
All families will receive a detailed Mid-Year Recital Information Package via email. This will include everything you need to know to help your dancer feel confident and prepared for their performance. It can also be downloaded at the links below.
Please take the time to read through the information carefully. Let us know all your questions by emailing us info@thedancespace.com.au
