25.01.2022 CLOSED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY It is with a heavy heart that I announce that we must discontinue physical classes as of midday today. My heart is truly breaking however, unfortunately this decision was taken out of our hands during the PM address yesterday. I was trying to keep us going for as long as I could to allow our students to retain some normalcy in their lives. I was doing everything I could to keep our safe space open for our students, their second home. However,... COVID-19 is bigger than we are and no amount of sanitising, cleaning and social distancing would allow us to continue past this point. Our dance family will be receiving an email today with more details regarding our next steps to allow our students to keep dancing at home. Our dance family is my heart and soul and I am truly thankful for every one of our parents who puts their trust in our faculty to give their child the gift of dance. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my incredible team for all that you do for our students! During this time, I encourage you to enjoy these precious moments with your family. Hug them a little tighter, take a moment to appreciate those little things that make you smile, love a little deeper and take this opportunity to spend time with one another. Encourage your children to stay physically active and to chat openly about how this is effecting them. It is important that we nurture a positive mindset in these challenging times. Your ongoing support through these difficult times is greatly appreciated. When things begin to return to normal, we look forward to seeing you all again in the studio with your dancing shoes on, ready to show the world that dance creates strength, resilience and the greatest sense of togetherness and love than you will find anywhere else in the world. Lots of love, Miss Jemma

24.01.2022 Massive congratulations to our Isabella! 5th place at Nationals in a very tough lyrical section. We can't wait to see what you achieve this year! X

23.01.2022 Calf raises are SO important in injury prevention and its why they are incorporated into all of our jazz, ballet, acrobatics and strength classes. PLUS all of our competitive students are recommended to be doing them as much as possible. Injury prevention is a huge priority in our studio as our young dancers have to live with their body far beyond their dancing days!

23.01.2022 Only 3 sleeps until our full studio rehearsal and 10 sleeps until Showcase! Who else is struggling to contain their excitement?! Please remember to check your emails and newsletters carefully so that you don't miss any of the important information. Ticket sales are open (limited to families only), rehearsals begin this Saturday (all students required), costumes are being handed out next week, stockings and shoes need to be purchased ASAP. This is such a busy time of the year, but so rewarding when we see our students shine on stage! Just look at how cute these two are, sharing the magic of dance.

22.01.2022 We will continue to ensure that our staff keep up to date with the latest training and information to help to protect our dance family and wider community! The lengths we are going to are far greater than any school/classroom environment and will continue to adapt and change as more information about this virus is released. Big love and air hugs from Miss Jemma . #keepingourfamilysafe #happychildrenarehealthychildren #keepdancing #airhi5 #spreadthelove

20.01.2022 Perth Circus & Dance Academy : Staying open 20 March We have taken on advice from the government and we are continually modifying processes accordingly, to ensure we are compliant as an industry. At this stage, studios that remain open, meet the social distancing requirements of 4 square meters per person over our dance studio(s). Reception areas / waiting rooms are now closed. Classes will finish a few minutes early to ensure we can take students safely to the carers / adu...lt collection points. As we are sure you are aware, dance studios are reliant on students tuition fees, which are vital to maintain operations and pay teachers. This being said, Term 2 is fast approaching so as per normal, invoicing / payment procedures will remain in place as we are confident we can continue our tuition / providing dance for our students. Classes will continue as per normal until we announce the move to alternatives over a closure period, if requirements from the government are put in place. We thank you for your continued support during this difficult time and we look forward to growing a stronger community

18.01.2022 Our studio is still open and classes are running as normal! We ask that if your child is well, please encourage them to continue to attend dancing as its important that children retain a sense of normalcy in their lives, not to mention that they should be continuing to remain active and social! For many of our dancers, the studio is a home away from home and is a time that they look forward to most within their week. It is important that students still have this safe plac...e during these unprecedented times of uncertainty. Our staff are implementing increased cleaning and sanitation measures as the health and wellbeing of our dance family and wider community is our top priority! For more information, please see the email sent out to our studio families. Please help us to minimise the risk by actioning the following: * Please keep away for 2 weeks minimum if you or any one youve been in contact with has travelled overseas. * Please use common sense and keep your children at home if they are unwell or a family member is sick. * Please encourage your children to wash their hands often. * Please limit time spent in our waiting area by picking up and dropping children off on time. * Please dont add unnecessary panic and stress. Please bear in mind that for all of us this is a situation that has never been encountered before. We are working tirelessly to remain informed with the most up to date information from authorities and to use this to decide on the best course of action for our dance family. In times such as these, please remember the importance of compassion, kindness and camaraderie. Big love from Miss Jemma x

16.01.2022 MEET OUR TEAM - Teacher Feature #2 BIO MISS ELAINA Head of Musical Theatre / Vocals ... * WWCC * National Police Clearance * Advanced Diploma of Performing Arts Elaina OConnor has been performing for as long as she can remember, discovering musical theatre at the age of 12.

After performing in musicals during her secondary education including The Wedding Singer, The Addams Family, and Grease, where she played the role of Sandy, Elaina went on to study and graduate with an Advanced Diploma in Performing Arts at APAN Academy. This led to her being fortunate enough to play the role of Elle Woods in the APAN Entertainment production of Legally Blonde in 2018, and Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz 2019. Elaina has also played the lead role of Veronica Sawyer in the Hama Production of Heathers. This show was brought to life at the State Theatre as apart of Perths Fringe Festival 2020.

15.01.2022 Congratulations to our first cohort of DanceStep assistants! Perth Circus & Dance Academy is proud to be an Affiliate Partner Studio with DanceStep. This program encourages and empowers our next generation of young leaders by providing opportunities for students to assistant teach within certain classes. Working alongside our dance teachers, assistants also study theory from the DanceStep program, providing valuable knowledge in areas such as Anatomy, Safe Dance, Learning Styles and Musicality. The inclusion of leadership studies and self awareness activities seeks to encourage students to take responsibility for themselves and others in a supported environment which often results in increased levels of self esteem and confidence. #DanceStep #empoweringstudents #growingleaders

You gave me back my love, you gave me back my dreams and you allowed me to decide what those dreams were. You don’t just own a studio, you own a home, a place for every child that walks through your doors to store a piece of their heart. Where it is always safe and protected. I am grateful for every opportunity I’m given and for every extra push and cannot fathom the improvement I’ve seen over my time at PCDA. But that’s nothing compared to what’s happened inside of me. Your studio put me back together piece by piece and allowed me to remember why I do what I do. It gave me back the feeling of freedom. This time there was no judgement, no fear; just a level of passion I never knew were possible. Miss Jemma, thank you for giving me a home that is so much more than a place to learn how to dance. . #passion #confidence #dedication #appreciation #findyourhappyplace #thisiswhywedoit #loveyourfamily #notbloodbutfamily #PCDA #perthcircusdanceacademy #dancefriends #2021 #danceclass #passion #confidence #dedication #appreciation #danceteacher #studypathways #dancestep #contortion #troupe #competitions #recreational #examinations #cstd See more
