Our annual showcase is back and we’re celebrating all things bold and brave with the tale of Rapunzel! Breaking free from the confines of her tower, Rapunzel embarks on a journey to explore the world through her own eyes and chase her dreams. Getting tangled up in obstacles along the way, her story is full of adventure, magic, and most of all dance!

For our Twinkle Dance Showcase 2023 – Rapunzel, we’re going all out and bringing you a full scale production in our biggest showcase of the year! That means we’ll be staging our show back in the big theatre with stage lights, the backstage, dressing rooms, and a full auditorium for our audience of friends and families to enjoy the show!  Through this unique performance experience, our students will get a custom made dance costume, take part in a professional dance photoshoot, and perform on stage with the help of our esteemed teachers and theatre production team! So bring down the stage lights and let’s have a blast at this year’s showcase!
