We are so excited to announce the details for this years EOY Concert! This is truly all about celebrating each and every dancer here at ProgressDNA - Concert is like the SUPERBOWL of dance. A chance for our dancers to get dressed up, feel like a superstar and show off everything they've been learning! All of our ProgressDNA dancers will be involved in the concert - Dance is a team sport, after all! As will our families - prepare yourselves for a surprisingly exciting event that's memorable for everyone in attendance!

WHEN

Sunday 23rd November

The Preschool Show Starts at 9:30am

Dancers must arrive at 9am for check in.

LOCATION

📍Smith Auditorium @ Shore North Sydney

WHAT TO WEAR

We'll send costumes home in special costume boxes in the lead up to the concert. Arrive fully dressed in costume with the provided wristband on - Please do not layer any additional clothing underneath.

HAIR

We suggest something neat, tidy, and tied up for our Lil Groovers! We want them to feel super special on stage — but we also know little ones can be fussy, and tight hairstyles can feel overwhelming.

Some top tips:

💫 A tiny bit of hairspray or gel can make a big difference!

💫 Please avoid non-studio bows, scrunchies, or accessories — but coloured hair ties are absolutely welcome!

✅ A drink bottle

❌ Nothing else

Step 1: Get ready at home! Make it a magical experience filled with excitement — today is all about making your dancer feel special, excited, and celebrated!

Step 2: Arrive at the venue for a 9am check-in.

Step 3: Time to head backstage! Here's how it works:

⭐ Our team will greet your Lil Groover at the sign-in door and help them find their Team Leader — last year, Belle, Cinderella, Anna, Elsa and Buzz led the way!

⭐ Groups are mostly organised by day of class, so your dancer will be hanging out with friends they know!

⭐ Backstage is all about fun — we play games, colour in, and keep it low-key and relaxed.

⭐ When it’s time to dance, we’ll walk your Lil Groover to the stage where they’ll show off the routines they've been practising in class! Their head teacher will be on stage with them, so there's no pressure to remember everything.

⭐ After dancing, it’s back to the backstage zone for more fun, until it's time for our big FINALE!

Step 4: Pickup your dancer and take some amazing photos at our photo booths!

If you aren't already, please make sure you are on Band App! This is where heaps of SUPER important event info will be posted.

Band is also where our teachers will be posting class updates and videos of routines along with the music for your dancer to practice in the lead up to Mid-Year - plus it's a great way to be able to get a sneak peek into the studios and everything that goes on!
