Does my child have to participate in end-of-year performances?
We strongly encourage all FDPA students to participate in the end of year Showcase. We call performance time our 'Game Day'. Without a chance to play our game, just as children in sporting communities do. the countless hours of training never have an end mark. All students love to perform, with it being the very reason for taking classes in the Arts to begin with. Concerts run for 2.5 hours including an intermission and display some of Melbourne's most incredible up and coming talent in the Arts.

Do they have to participate in all scheduled rehearsals?

Yes, students must be available for all rehearsals. This includes 2 rehearsals held at the Flashdance studios and one at the theatre venue. This way students are well prepared for the big day. We not only consider being ready physically but being aware of your surroundings plays such an important part in the safety of all students.

Each year Flashdance presents new works in each age group over each genre at concert time. We costume in co-ordination to this, and see amazing results from the detailed preparation that goes into costuming at Flashdance.
