End of Year Demonstration
–
Talbot Theatre, Thomas Dixon Centre

Showcasing a year of dancer development through professional training and live performance.
Celebrate the energy, discipline, and transformation of an incredible year of training at our 2026 End of Year Demonstration, a showcase of skill, confidence, and passion for dance you won’t want to miss.
Across the evening Academy students of all levels (Foundation Level 9 to Pre Professional) will take the stage to demonstrate what they have been working towards all year. The night will include dynamic performances, technical demonstration and powerful moments that highlight growth teamwork and dedication. From precision fundamentals to advanced technique, this is a true celebration of their journey.
Saturday evening represents a significant milestone as we formally recognise the graduation of our 2026 Level 1 students. This ceremony acknowledges their dedication, perseverance, and achievements as they successfully complete the Level 1 program and progress into the next stage of their dance training. It is a meaningful moment for families, friends, and the broader community, celebrating the outcomes of consistent effort and commitment. The evening also incorporates the Academy Awards presentation, during which students from across the Academy will be recognised for their overall dance achievements throughout the year. These awards provide an opportunity to celebrate excellence, progress, and contribution within the Academy community, in the presence of peers and families.
Whether you’re supporting a student, considering joining us next year, or simply love witnessing live performance and personal triumph, this night delivers excitement, inspiration, and celebration in equal measure.
Tickets are essential - secure your seat and be part of an unforgettable end‑of‑year event.
