This year's showcase theme is Symphony of Colour! Each year we choose a new theme for our Showcases. This gives the teachers a focused idea to build on in their classes and explore through the choreography.
|
The Junior Showcase is an in-house performance for the younger classes at Pegasus. We transform Studio A into a performance space so that the dancers can get a feel for performing in front of a large audience and show their family and friends what they’ve been learning all year, in the safe and familiar environment they are used to. The dancers are able to sit in the audience after their class has performed to watch the rest of the show. Each year, several of our senior classes also perform at the Junior Showcase, to inspire the younger dancers.
|
The Senior Showcases are held offsite to provide students with a professional performance experience. The Meridian Centre for the Arts allows our dancers to perform in a venue with a professional stage and backstage space, supported by technicians and high-quality performance equipment.
Showcases are a great opportunity for our dancers to develop their performance skills and gain invaluable experience in front of an audience. Working on showcase choreography is a team effort and all dancers must be committed to their class as fellow students and teachers help create an amazing piece to perform. |

*A NOTE ON ORDERING PICTURES AND VIDEOS: All families will need to either login to their pre-existing DanceBUG account or create a new one to complete the order form. They will then be prompted to select their dancer from a drop-down menu which will populate a list of all their classes/routines based on the info Pegasus has provided. If you have any dancers who attend your studio who are siblings with different last names or one is hyphenated and the other isn’t, please have them reach out to [email protected] to place an order. In our system, last names must match for a guardian to order multiple dancers together, but we can override that for unique situations via support.

Junior Showcase Costumes
You have all purchased your costumes and we are eagerly awaiting their arrival! All costumes will be fitted in class and sent home with dancers the week of April 1-5th. You are responsible for the condition of your costume for photo week and performances, as well as arriving with all the accessories, dancewear, and hairstyle requirements. This information can be found on the Accessory Charts, which will be posted in the Reception room and online.
|
Senior Showcase Costumes
Costumes for Senior Showcases are rented. We require either a body liner or the class uniform (see Accessory Charts online or at Pegasus for your classes specific requirements) for your child's privacy backstage. As we do not have individual changing rooms for each dancer backstage, some dancers need to change in front of other people, especially if a fast change of costumes is involved. Wearing a bodysuit to the theatre gives dancers the ability to get changed wherever they need.
It is your responsibility to have all the proper uniform items and to be prepared on showcase day with these items in good condition. You can find the accessory charts online, as well as in the reception room, with details of what your dancer needs to bring for the showcase and hairstyle requirements. FINALE OUTFIT: Please arrive at the theatre in your brightly coloured t-shirt (or Pegasus shirt) and black leggings/pants/shorts. This will be your finale costume and you will then be all ready to head home after the last show. |
