Showcase is our annual ‘in-house’ competition where students put their acts together themselves. A celebration of their creativity and own work; students can act, sing or dance and even costume their performance themselves! Independent judges are then invited to select winners in our age groups.
Showcase – 2023 
After a long break (no thanks to covid), Showcase was finally back July 2023 and combined for the first time with our Awards Night. Hosted at St Cyres School, it was a very special occasion for all as our Junior and Senior dance classes performed and we were able to celebrate the hard work of our students. We love Showcase and getting to watch the students own work and creativity. It was a wonderful evening and the judges had a very hard job!! Big thank you to our judges Liv Tucker (former PAAW student and London Studio Centre Graduate) and Nia Hopkins (former PAAW student and choreographer).

The students had more room for their performance and the audience loved being in a proper theatre. Another highly entertaining evening, we’re very proud of the work all of our stendents produced. Thank you to our judges Jane Clarke (Dance teacher and choreographer), Ashleigh Patrick (former PAAW student) and Nia Spilsbury (former PAAW student).
Also, for the first time, we added a third place award as the school as grown so much.
