How many can perform?
Numbers are strictly limited in each zone, on a pro-rata basis proportionate to the size of the zone. Your application will be time/date stamped and those who apply first will be accepted in each age group, until that age group is full. After that, applicants will be put on a waitlist and accepted if a spot in their age group in their zone becomes available.
How do I know if I am in the cast?
You will receive an email advising whether you have been accepted into the cast as soon as all information is collated after registration closes. This should be some time in November. We’ll keep you posted.

How will we learn the choreography?
You will learn it at home by watching videos provided to you by your Event Leaders. Rehearsals will focus on bringing all the performers from different clubs together and creating dramatic items that tell the story, so it’s important that the steps are learned at home beforehand.
What do we have to keep secret?
Everything about your items must be kept confidential and no cameras or phones will be allowed at rehearsals. We want the show to be a huge surprise for the audience and performers alike. This means you can’t talk about your items with anyone outside your zone or post anything about it on Facebook including photos.
