SHOWCASE “the get down“
The second half of our showcase transforms into a huge cypher, removing all theatre seating and staging, and organising everyone into a big ‘Dance off’ style circle. This half is all about connecting audience and performers alike in a big dance circle of support, energy, love and creativity.
Our resident DJ’s from ‘Get It Together’ play a live, authentic Hip hop and breakbeat set on vinyl, to soundtrack the event, bringing the party atmosphere – BIG TUNES = BIG VIBES!
Not only that, but we invite special guest performers to build the energy, and inspire everyone with their talents and passion for authentic street dance!
OUR SHOWCASE
‘The Get Down’ is our annual showcase, full of Energy, Talent, and FUN! It connects our school to real, authentic Hip Hop culture and history, and is the highlight of everyone’s year!
We believe that everyone deserves a chance to shine, and to be celebrated! All our students are encouraged to participate, to share with friends, family and other student’s, the different Street dance styles and techniques they have learned through out the year.
Our show case is split into 2 halves. The first half is what you might expect a showcase to look like. Each class has a chance to perform specific choreographed pieces, demonstrating their coordination, techniques, team work and focus.

Compared to your average dance school showcase, ours is unconventional, brave, excitable and all about community spirit, refocusing Street dance authentically back to it’s history. It gives each student the chance to shine, to share their creativity in the skills they have been learning, and allows them to connect with each other, inspiring confidence and self-expression in everybody involved. The positive energy reaches beyond those free styling, and ripples across the whole theatre.
