Moana 2025 | danceplus

Year End Production...

This is the place to stay informed of all matters concerning our end-of-year production. If you are new to the studio you may be curious to our chosen theme for our show. It is our absolute pleasure to showcase our students (your children) and all they have learned during the year in the best manner possible, but we also want you to be entertained throughout the afternoon when watching children who are not yours. A theme running through the show does this quite effectively. If you do not already know (or haven't guessed by this very pink page) the theme for this year is Moana. Throughout the show you will notice dances inspired by the movie and the world (and sea) in which Moana takes place.. Some of dances have been conceived and choreographed specifically for the Moana theme and will be performed by students who have elected to participate in these "extra parts.'

If you are one of the dancers in E xtra Parts click on the link to access rehearsal footage.

Visit this page often as we will update accordingly.

LANYARDS

During the show we use a very specific procedure to guiding and chaperoning the students as they migrate from their seats, to the stage and back.

Five (5) dances BEFORE their dance they should be brought to the lobby where there is a staging for area for them (this is also the cue for one (1) person in your group to prepare to head down to video row if you want to video their performance)
As the show progresses they will be led backstage to perform
When their performance is done they will be led back to the staging area where they were originally dropped off. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THEY CAN BE PICKED UP. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PULL THEM OUT OF LINE AT ANY OTHER POINT AND BE SURE TO HAVE YOUR LANYARD CLEARLY DISPLAYED*

* - Lanyards can be picked up at Dress Rehearsal or the front desk

The will have your children's name
You must have this lanyard for them to be released to you
Return the lanyard after your child's last dance is complete

PICTURE DAY

Picture Day is Sunday, 04 May 2025. CLICK HERE for the schedule. It can be a long day, but certain steps can taken to ensure a smoother process:

Refer to the Accessory List for details about your costume(s)

Be early to double check with your teacher AND classmates that your costume, hair, shoes, tights, accessories are accurate

IMPORTANT: When it is time for your little dancer to have their picture taken, leave it to the photographer to capture the moment. Screaming out to them, waving and other distractions only serve to disrupt and delay the process. Your children are accustomed to taking instruction when at the studio and the photographer is extremely capable. You will LOVE the photos!

The photos of your children from Picture Day will be available here once they are processed. You will be provided with the site address and access.
