The opportunity to perform in a concert is an exciting, empowering and confidence-building part of the training process. This is where we love to watch our students learn about performance, rehearsals and teamwork while they enjoy the opportunity to showcase their skills in a professionally run production. Concerts are a wonderful way for students to showcase the results of their hard work and for family and friends to join in the pride of their achievement. We love giving all students the chance to perform for their family and friends in this supportive and fun environment and encourage even our youngest and newest performers to be involved.

Please note: In order to receive your costumes and participate in the concert , please ensure your invoice is up to date.

This is without a doubt the highlight of our year and we are giddy with excitement to show you how hard our dancers and cheerleaders have been working!

Thank you for taking the time to read all information contained on this site. It should cover any questions you have, if not, please feel free to reach out to one of our staff members. We hope you are all looking forward to the concert as much as we are!

All students participate in our End of Year Concert and students work on these routines each week in class, developing their skills in the process and learning the importance of rehearsal, commitment, performance techniques and teamwork.

In terms of attendance, it is very important that students do not miss any of their scheduled classes between now and concert time so they can spend their rehearsal time together to perform their routines, feel confident and look amazing.

All students will receive a concert commemorative T-shirt, which was included in their concert pack paid for in Term 4. The T-shirts are expected to arrive on Monday, 7 December 2026. Once they arrive, we will send the T-shirt home with your child. This will be worn with black tights for our finale.

Saturday 19th December 2026 @ 9:00AM

At NRG Studios Allstars, we understand that the end of the year is a busy time for families, so we hold our rehearsal on the same day as the concert! Students will be dropped off at 8:45am for a 9:00am rehearsal start and will stay with us until the end of the concert.

Students are required to arrive at 8:45am, as rehearsal will start at 9:00am. It is important that your lil star arrives on time.

Students should wear their NRG Concert T-shirt and plain black tights upon arrival. Hair and make-up should be done upon arrival, so please pack make-up for any final touch-ups before the concert.

Please ensure your child brings everything they need for the day, including costumes, shoes and snacks. Parents will not be able to drop off food after the initial arrival time.

DROP OFF & PICK UP

On concert day, all students will be staying backstage with us for the duration of the concert. Students need to have their hair and make-up done and wear their required concert attire when dropped off.

Students are required to arrive at their designated rehearsal arrival time:

LSS: 8:45am for a 9:00am rehearsal start.

Primary Cheer: 12:15pm for a 12:30pm rehearsal start.

Primary Dance: 3:00pm for a 3:15pm rehearsal start.

Upon arrival, we ask that one parent or guardian drops the performer at the designated student drop-off area, where a staff member will greet you. Students will then be signed in at the designated desk in the room at IPAC.

After the show concludes, we will bring all our lil stars out in age groups (5–6yrs and 2–4yrs).

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask us!

SECURITY & STUDENT SAFETY

To help with student organisation and safety, all lil stars will have a buddy who they will stay with the whole time backstage to help with costuming, make up and we will also have some fun activities for your lil star whilst they are backstage.

As always, the safety of our dance family is our #1 priority. On concert day all students will need to be signed in to gain access backstage. All backstage helpers will be issued with passes that are required to be worn at all times. Only NRG staff and registered parent helpers are permitted backstage. We are unable to run messages or food to students, so please make sure they have everything before they come backstage for rehearsal and the concert. There will be a someone at the door for the entire day checking passes. We do this to protect the students, please respect this policy. Please try not to bring anything valuable, especially electronic devices and jewellery. Our studio will take no responsibility if an item is damaged, misplaced, lost or stolen.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS

If your child has any Medical Conditions that may require attention whilst in our care or are carrying any medication with them, please notify our supervisors when you sign in.

All LSS students will wear their costume, pink stockings and appropriate shoes for their dance style. They will need to bring their NRG Concert T-shirt to wear for their finale routine.

UNDERWEAR

Please be aware that under stage lights, dark coloured or patterned underwear does not look good under light coloured costumes. Please make sure your child is wearing flesh coloured underwear.

HAIR

Dancers will require 2 x High Buns.

You will need to use a lot of hairspray/gel and a fine tooth comb to achieve the slick look and possibly multiple elastics. Please also use an elastic the same colour as their hair.
