We’re super excited to tell you about our upcoming SK Dance Studio whole school dance show – entitled “The Greatest Show”.

All our dancers have been working really hard to prepare a stunning showcase of dazzling dance numbers for your enjoyment.  There’ll be something for everyone including high energy tap, beautiful ballet, sassy street dance, toe tapping jazz and modern, gorgeous lyrical and more!  Almost all of our class groups will be taking part, from our pre-school “baby” class which always steals the show, through to our amazing adult tap group.

When?

  • The show will run for two consecutive nights – Friday 13th July and Saturday 14th July 2018.
  • Curtain goes up at 7pm.  Dancers should arrive at the theatre by 6pm.

Where?

  • Preston Playhouse Theatre (Market St West, PR1 2HB)

Tickets

  • Tickets are available to buy online via Stage Stubs here.

What about rehearsals?

  • We’ve been rehearsing in class and will continue to do so right up until the show. We really appreciate your support in ensuring children attend all classes. This minimises disruption to learning as teachers work on choreography, patterns and placement.
  • There will also be rehearsals at the theatre in Preston throughout the week before the show. It’s compulsory that all pupils attend theatre rehearsals in line with the schedule shown below.

SK Dance Studio Show Dates Announced

SKUK - The Great British Dance Tour Show

We’re delighted to announce the dates for our next SK Dance Studio full school dancing show!

We’ll be performing for at least two nights (Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd July 2016) and potentially a third night on Thursday 30th June, so please keep this date free too.

Our show will be held at the lovely Playhouse Theatre in Preston, and our theme is “SK UK – The Great British Dance Tour”. 

As the name suggests, get ready for a celebration of everything British, with rousing music and fabulous costumes as we take our audience on a journey of dance through the British Isles!  We can’t wait to see all our lovely dancers shine on stage, and we’re sure you’ll all feel the same.

On stage rehearsals will be held at Preston Playhouse theatre the week prior to the show, starting on Sunday 26th June when all dancers will be required to attend. Theatre rehearsals will also run after school throughout week commencing Monday 27th June.  Please keep this whole week free and we’ll let you know the dates and times of your child’s rehearsals nearer the time.

Which classes will take part in the show?

This is SK Dance Studio’s full school show, so dancers from ALL classes will be taking part. This includes our Thursday Street dance and Acro students; our fabulous Tiny Tappers group and our Advanced Ballet Babies group (excluding children attending our “Mummy & Me” baby class – though there’s still plenty of time to progress to dancing on your own in our Advanced Ballet Babies class!!).

If your child is interested in taking up an extra class (perhaps adding tap to your Ballet Babies’ class, or joining our Street dance group), then please let Susan know. That’ll be an extra dance in the show!

Dancing show success with Star Spangled Showtime

SK Dance Studio Star Spangled Showtime

Susan and the SK Dance Studio team would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came to watch our performance of “Star Spangled Showtime”.

Commenting on USA-inspired show theme, SK Dance Studio Principal Susan Kielb said “Being Friday 4th and Saturday 5th July, the dates of our show this year coincided with American Independence Day. There’s so many fantastic USA inspired dance numbers to choose from that we just couldn’t resist the temptation to go with it”.

The show, which was held at the Preston Playhouse Theatre, was a glittering bonanza of a performance with amazing costumes, uplifting music and of course, fabulous dancing from all our students.

Like all Susan’s shows, every dancer got their big opportunity to really shine on stage and with such an amazing back-catalogue of US themed dance numbers to choose from, there was really something for everyone in the show.

“Our tap numbers got the audience’s feet tapping along with those of the dancers, whilst our modern and street-dance routines gave us the chance to incorporate a range of well known US musical styles into the programme. And for the classical ballet lovers in the audience, our talented ballet students wowed us with a collection of beautiful dances” said Susan.

As well as a huge thank you to everyone who bought tickets, we’d also like to thank all the parents and helpers who supported behind the scenes, providing much appreciated support with everything from costume making, to chaperoning, to making the tea! We couldn’t put on such a great show without all your hard work – and we appreciate it so much.

But the biggest thank you has to go to all our dancers who were amazing, from the littlest tots in our baby classes, through to our students. “You all performed brilliantly” said Susan. “I am so proud of each and every one of you. Huge congratulations!”.
