CONFIRM YOUR PLACE VIA CLASS4KIDS BY November 30th 2025 !
All recreational classes in Cheerleading, Dance and Acro will perform in our yearly showcase at a professional theatre with all the excitement of the theatre. Our shows are about shining on stage and showcasing all talents in a fun environment. We can't wait to see you all shine on stage. To keep the show accessible to all, we have worked hard to keep our show costs affordable.
Our Show fees cover the use of a costume and accessories, dress rehearsal, show performance and a COMPLIMENTARY DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OF THE SHOW EMAILED ,and the experience of a professional theatre for £25 a child (early bird by 31st October- £30 after this date)- this is a huge saving as the digital download allow is £20!
Everyone has a chance to perform but we recommend you confirm your spot as soon as possible to secure your place in the show.
While there is no obligation to buy theatre tickets, we must let you know that our shows tend to sell out quickly. If you wish to purchase tickets, we recommend doing so promptly to avoid disappointment. There are no limits on how many tickets you can buy!
