This October, our Academy transformed into a world of wonder, music and movement for our Greatest Showman Autumn Dance Camp. The studio was filled with laughter, energy and creativity as campers explored a circus-inspired week celebrating confidence, imagination and performance. From graceful Ballet and empowering Musical Theatre Dance to high-energy Hip Hop and AcroDance, every camper had a chance to shine under the spotlight.



Morning Momentum: Stretch & Strengthening

Each day began with Stretch and Strengthening sessions, where campers focussed on posture, flexibility and balance. These energising warm-ups helped them prepare their bodies for a full day of learning while building strength and body awareness. The sessions encouraged focus and confidence, setting the perfect tone for the day ahead under our “big top.”



Ballet Dreams: A Million Dreams

Ballet class captured the elegance and hope of A Million Dreams. Campers learned to express emotion through graceful movement, connecting their technique with storytelling. Their choreography reflected the theme of imagination and believing in what is possible, filling the studio with poise, focus and quiet strength.



Musical Theatre Magic: This is Me!

Our Musical Theatre sessions were bursting with empowerment and joy. Performing to This is Me, campers explored expressive movement and stage presence while celebrating individuality and self-belief. They learned to perform from the heart, using emotion and storytelling to connect with the music. The result was a bold, heartfelt number that radiated pride and positivity; a true Greatest Showman moment.



Hip Hop Spectacle: The Greatest Show

The studio came alive during Hip Hop, as campers took on the challenge of performing to The Greatest Show. With sharp isolations, dynamic footwork and fearless energy, they learned to command the space like true show stars. The choreography blended attitude and rhythm and every camper brought their own spark to the performance.



Acrobatics in Action: AcroDance

In AcroDance, campers explored the strength and discipline of circus-inspired movement. They worked on rolls, bridges, balances and cart wheels, learning how to connect tricks with flow and expression. Each new skill achieved was a proud moment, met with cheers from friends and plenty of smiles.



Learning in Motion: Dance Education

In Dance Education, campers discovered how movement tells a story. They watched inspiring clips from The Greatest Showman, Wicked, K-Pop Demon Hunters, and Matilda, learning how different styles and musicals combine music, choreography, and emotion to create magic on stage. The sessions sparked imagination and helped campers see the beauty of storytelling through dance.



Circus Creation: Artistic Flair Under the Big Top

This week’s Arts and Crafts sessions brought our circus theme to life. Campers designed colourful top hats, created bold show posters, and decorated props inspired by The Greatest Showman. These hands-on projects gave them a creative outlet beyond the studio floor, adding sparkle and personality to the final showcase. Their artwork filled the space with colour, excitement and imagination.



End of Camp Showcase: The Greatest Show

To close the week, campers presented a spectacular showcase for family and friends, performing all they had learned throughout camp:


  • A Million Dreams – Ballet

  • This Is Me – Musical Theatre

  • The Greatest Show – Hip Hop

  • AcroDance sequences – featuring balances, tricks and transitions


The performance was a vibrant celebration of creativity, courage and teamwork. Campers shone with confidence as they took to the stage, supported by enthusiastic applause from proud families. It was a perfect grand finale to an unforgettable week in our circus of dance and imagination.
