Term 4 2024
What an amazing Term 3 it has been!
We had the pleasure of celebrating the achievements and hard work of our amazing Planetdance students by presenting the Student of the Month awards for August and September. The growth we've seen in each student has been nothing short of remarkable, and I can't wait for you all to witness the dedication and effort they've poured into their routines this year.
In September, we proudly supported the R U OK? Foundation, encouraging our students to ask the important question, “Are you okay?” The acts of kindness and genuine interactions we witnessed during this week were truly inspiring. We focused on the significance of checking in on friends and caring for oneself, helping to cultivate a supportive community.
I’m excited to announce that we raised $126, which has been donated to the R U OK? Foundation!
Well done, Planetdance! I can’t wait for another fantastic term ahead!

Every contribution helps support critical efforts to find a cure and offer support to those affected.
Join us for PINK WEEK, which will run from Monday, 21st October, to Saturday, 26th October (Week 2), to support breast cancer awareness.

Concert Information
​
Term 4 is such an exciting time. We are bubbling with excitement for the concert and can't wait to see everything come together for what we hope will be a very memorable night.
We are currently in the process of finalizing all our concert information and will have these to you as soon as possible. If you have done a concert at Planetdance, you will have a good idea of what the day will look like; we tend to make only a few minor adjustments to this process year - year. If you haven't yet done a concert with us at Planetdance, don't sweat; we make every effort to make this as stress-free and positive as possible.
Tickets
​
We will have the full ticketing information available shortly. Keep an eye on your emails and our Private Facebook Group for all the details!
Costumes
Our beautiful costumes are on their way and will soon be ready for you to take home. All costumes have been paid off over the last three terms, so there are no more payments to be made. The costumes will be distributed after classes in the coming weeks. We will let you know once yours is ready.
We're sure it will be the perfect fit, as our outstanding staff members have tried to measure each student, so you don't need to worry. However, try the costume at home to ensure your child is familiar with it and then store it safely until concert day (it's not a dress-up yet).
Concert Levy
Each student participating in the concert has been invoiced for Digital Concert Costs as outlined in our yearly information pack. Every parent will receive a link to download the concert to keep forever! You can share this link with family and friends; however, due to music licence and child protection laws, concert routines cannot be shared or uploaded on any social media or public platform (including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, etc).
This $40 cost includes the copyright licence fee for each child and the cost of producing and editing the footage.
2025 VIP Enrolment​
​
VIP Enrolments for 2025 will open on Monday 2nd December!
As a current student, you will gain priority access to class enrollment. Make sure you take advantage of this and secure your place for 2025.
We are currently in the process of finalizing our 2025 timetable and information packs. These will be sent to you soon, allowing you to prepare for success next year. Sign up promptly, as some of our classes often have a waitlist!​
This year is going so fast already. I can't wait to see all the excitement as we begin this next phase and get ready to Wow you on stage at the concert!

Happy Dancing,
