Every DWU dancer is invited onto the stage for our Christmas Show on Sunday 13 December at Chobham Academy: a warm, happy Christmas show for the whole DWU family. Every kids' class takes to the stage, we finish with one big finale, and Santa arrives at the end. One place per dancer, £45, however many dances they're in. It includes: - a hired costume for every dance they're in - a present from Santa at the finale - all the professional photos and the full show video - one ticket for a grown-up to watch Does my child have to perform? No, it's their choice, but we really encourage it. The show is a safe place to build confidence and self-esteem: they dance with their friends in front of a very friendly audience and get lots of support and encouragement on the day. Book two performing siblings together in one basket and the second is 10% off. Solos and duets are by teacher invitation and cost nothing extra. Please book as soon as you can, and by Sunday 6 December at the latest. Dancers arrive at 1pm (under-5s at 1.30pm) to warm up, rehearse on stage and get changed. The show starts at 5pm and finishes around 6pm. We'll share the running order by Sunday 6 December.
Camp notes
ONE PRICE PER DANCER: £45 however many dances they're in, including costume hire for each dance, a present from Santa, all the show photos and video, and one grown-up ticket.
SIBLINGS: book both performers together in ONE basket and the second is 10% off. The discount doesn't apply if you book them separately.
PLEASE BOOK AS SOON AS YOU CAN, and by Sunday 6 December at the latest. The earlier we know, the easier it is to get costumes and presents right. We may be able to add dancers after that, but we can't promise a costume or a present will be ready.
NEED SUPPORT? If you need a reduced rate or any help to secure your child's place, email hello@dwudance.co.uk. We'll keep it between us.
ALLERGIES: every child gets the same present from Santa, so please make sure any allergies are on your child's ClassForKids profile, or email us, and we'll prepare their present to suit.
COSTUMES: children try their costumes on in class before the show. At the end of the show they take them off and hand them to our staff, who collect and pack them.
REFUNDS: performer places are non-refundable. If we have to cancel the show, we'll refund everyone in full.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT: we'll share the running order a week before the show, by Sunday 6 December, when everything is final.
ON THE DAY: Chobham Academy, 40 Cheering Lane, London E20 1BD. Dancers arrive at 1pm, under-5s at 1.30pm. Our youngest usually dance first; afterwards they can watch from a space kept for them in the audience, or sit with you, as long as they come back for the final number. Doors open for the audience at 4.40pm and the show starts at 5pm. Give your booking name at the door; your grown-up ticket is on this booking.
