Word of 2025: ELEVATE

Exciting Changes Coming to LAUNCH in 2025!

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news about LAUNCH in 2025! With new studio spaces, enhanced class offerings, and exciting opportunities, next year promises to be our best yet.

WE ARE EXPANDING!

In 2025, we will introduce two brand-new spaces:

Studio 5: Located upstairs and measuring 12 x 4m, offering an inspiring new space for our dancers.

Studio 6: A dedicated Academy and private singing room, designed to enhance our students’ experience.
45-MINUTE CLASSES – MORE FLEXIBILITY!

We’re moving to 45-minute classes, allowing us to fit more styles into each session, giving students greater flexibility, and reducing the number of days they need to attend. Plus, earlier finish times will benefit our younger students. Combined with our additional studio space, this change means less transition time and more time for what matters most—dance!
NEW PARENT PORTAL AND APP

We’re also excited to launch our brand-new parent portal and app, making it easier to make payments, report absences, book makeup lessons for preschool classes, and more—streamlining your experience with us.

CHANGES TO BROADWAY JAZZ/CABARET

Senior Open Broadway jazz will now be integrated into our 12, 15, and open-level Musical Theatre classes, ensuring this essential style stays alive and strong.
BALLET EXAM FOCUS

In 2025, we will shift our focus towards ballet exams rather than concert performances to help our students succeed in their exams. By removing ballet from concert performances, we aim to prepare our dancers more thoroughly for exam success.
CONCERTS AND CONVENTIONS

Weekend Concerts: Our mid-year concert will be on a Sunday, and from 2026, our End-of-Year concerts will also move to weekends.

Conventions: I’ve been invited to teach at conventions nationwide, and we’re expanding these opportunities for our senior students. Alongside Light The Way, we’re organizing a tour to VDF and ADF with performance opportunities. Our dancers are gaining national recognition, and we’re thrilled to showcase their talent!

New and Improved Classes for 2025!

Split Age Groups for Musical Theatre: We’ve tailored our 10 & 12 musical performance groups to better suit each age.

New 8/U Performance Hip Hop: By popular demand, we’ve created a performance group for our 8 and under junior hip hop stars!

Pre-Junior & Junior Tap Split: With our new studio space, we’re now able to split pre-junior and junior tap classes, offering age-appropriate instruction.

Mini Song & Dance is Back!: You asked, we listened! Mini Song & Dance is returning, and we can’t wait to hear those little voices filling the studio again.

12/U Advanced Open Commercial Jazz: Open classes are a fabulous way for dancers to become more versatile. This class will challenge students to learn new styles and choreography quickly, improving adaptability and skill—perfect for students who want to elevate their performance level.

15/U Performance Hip Hop: A dedicated class for our 15/U dancers, with the chance to be invited into open-level classes!

Beginner/Intermediate Technique Classes: Introducing technique classes to support students transitioning into performance classes and recreational dancers eager to learn these skills without joining performance teams.

Special Additions for Performance Classes

Dance Camp: We’ll kick off the year with a Dance Camp to jumpstart competition routines.

Parent Information Session: Join us for an informative session covering all you need to know and answer any questions.

More Private Lessons: More studio space means more private lesson opportunities—hooray!

Mindset & Goal Setting with Kym: New holistic classes focusing on mindset, goal setting, and lifestyle planning.

6/U Performance Program: A comprehensive program for our youngest dancers, incorporating ballet, technique, jazz, and tap.
