The event
The Showcase is on Saturday 4 July 2026 at The Playhouse (Canberra Theatre Centre), from 4:00pm to 6:30pm. Adults perform once, in the 4pm show, and also attend the Friday 3 July 2026 rehearsal.
Friday 3 July is a rehearsal day. Arrive at 4:00pm for theatre orientation and dressing room allocation, then run-through and spacing of all routines on stage. The rehearsal finishes at 7:15pm. Dancers are to attend the rehearsal in costume with their hair done, makeup is optional.
Saturday 4 July is show day. Arrive at 3:00pm for a warm up and finale rehearsal on stage from 3:15pm to 3:30pm. The theater opens at 3:30pm for the audience to find their seats and the Showcase runs from 4:00pm to 6:30pm.
Arrive in costume with hair and makeup done. We will share the running order ahead of time so you know what costume to arrive in if you are in multiple routines.
Once the performance is completed you will return the costume provided to you by Dance Northside before leaving the theatre.
Costumes provided by Dance Northside will be sent home with dancers in week 11. Any uncollected costumes will be taken to the theatre to be given to dancers on the day.

Our sign-in and sign-out process is being updated for 2026. Full details will be shared closer to the event.

What to pack/bring
1. Enough food and water to get your dancer through the day – lunch, plenty of snacks, and a drink bottle. Note that our studio is NUT FREE, as we have a number of students with life-threatening nut allergies; please do not pack any foods containing peanuts or tree nuts.
2. Something to keep you entertained while not on stage, e.g. reading material, card games, devices. Please make sure all items are labelled with the student’s name. Dance Northside takes no responsibility if items are lost.
3. Street clothes to wear after the performance – students will be asked to change out of and return the costumes provided to them by Dance Northside before leaving the theatre.
4. If they’re in multiple routines, all of your dancer’s costumes – including any required footwear and undergarments (e.g. white singlet, black leggings)
5. Makeup and hair styling tools/products, in case touch ups are needed over the course of the day.

Make up information
Makeup is completely optional and should be kept natural and minimal. As we are performing in a lit theatre, we recommend a little bit, so the your features are not washed out under the bright stage lights. If choosing to wear makeup, our suggestion of what to apply is below:
- Foundation
- Blush over cheekbone
- Brown eyeshadow - Dark close to lashes. Light/white under eyebrow outer edge
- Black eyeliner
- Black mascara
- Reddish-brown lipstick
