Silhouette Dance Academy - SDA

🌟 Exciting Opportunity for Our Dancers! 🌟

As our competition programme continues to grow, I am so excited to announce that from September we will be introducing a Junior Competition Squad, alongside recruiting additional dancers for our existing Intermediate Competition Team.

This is an exciting next step for the school, and I can’t wait to continue building two strong, supportive teams.

💜 Junior Competition Squad (Ages 10–12)

Experienced 9-year-old dancers may also be considered.

📅 Thursdays | 4:00pm–5:30pm – Junior Competition Squad Training

📅 Thursdays | 5:30pm–6:30pm – Body Conditioning & Stretching

📅 Thursdays | 5:30pm–6:30pm – Body Conditioning & Stretching

New Show Rehearsal Time
📅 Thursdays | 6:30pm–8:30pm

Recommended Additional Training

To help our intermediate competition dancers become as versatile and competitive as possible, I strongly recommend attending as many dance genres as possible, including:

⭐ Commercial
⭐ Contemporary
⭐ Jazz
⭐ Acro
⭐ Gymnastics & Tumbling

These styles are regularly incorporated into our solo and troupe choreography and are invaluable in developing strong, confident and well-rounded performers.

⸻

💜 Competition Class Fees

I understand that dance is an expensive hobby, so I want to keep competition training as affordable as possible and encourage as many dancers as possible to get involved.

✨ Competition Team Training – £3 per class
✨ Body Conditioning & Stretching – £2 per class

Competition packages will also be available each term for competition dancers.

If you pay via our monthly subscription, both compulsory competition classes will be included at no extra cost.

⸻

💜 Intermediate Summer Workshops

For dancers already in our Intermediate Competition Team, as well as those wishing to join us from September, we will be holding a series of summer workshops.

These workshops will act as both training sessions and an opportunity for dancers to demonstrate whether they are ready for competition level.

Throughout the workshops we will:
✨ Teach new troupe choreography.
✨ Develop performance quality and technique.
✨ Observe dancers’ enthusiasm, commitment and attitude.
✨ See how dancers work as part of a team.
✨ Assess their readiness for our competition team.

Workshop Dates

📅 20th–21st July

📅 8th–9th August

📅 22nd–23rd August

🕙 10:00am–2:00pm

💜 Register Your Interest

If your child would like to be considered for either competition team, please let me know as soon as possible.

Having an idea of numbers early will really help me finalise the September timetable and organise classes for all of our dancers and families.

If you have any questions or would like to register your interest, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Miss Becky.

I am incredibly excited for this next chapter of our competition programme and can’t wait to welcome both returning and new dancers to our teams. 💜

☀️ What an incredible performance from our amazing students at St. Peter’s C of E School Summer Fair in Stonall! 🌟

We are so proud of how brilliantly they performed in the heat — they showed such confidence, energy, and passion while representing our dance school so wonderfully. 💃🕺

A huge well done to every student who took part. You were all fantastic and did us proud! ❤️ It was also lovely to meet so many new families and share what we do. We’re looking forward to welcoming some of the children we met at the fair who are coming along to try out our classes in September — we can’t wait to meet you all! ✨
