This will guide our performance opportunities across the rest of the year. \n— \nUpdated Eisteddfod Schedule – (As of 18th June 2025) \nPlease review the dates carefully and mark your calendars accordingly. If any changes occur\, these will be announced asap. \nEisteddfod Schedule \n\nEach event will be followed up with more detailed information as it becomes available from the organisers – including performance orders\, arrival times\, and costume requirements. \n  \nCompetition Updates: \nTaree (Live To Dance): As many of you are aware\, due to severe flooding earlier this year\, the Taree Eisteddfod was postponed to late July. We’ve made the decision not to attend this event\, as it now falls in our exam week. \nTalent Tribe (June): We will not be participating this year due to a number of our students being unavailable on the dates. \n\nAbermain (Aug): This event is recommended for our soloists only. 6s & 8s groups have been allocated to alternative events.\nNEW:  \nPort Macquarie District Eisteddfod: We are excited to confirm that we’ve added this event to our calendar. It’s held at the beautiful Glasshouse Theatre in Port Macquarie\, and all groups will enter. Actual performance days/sessions will be confirmed closer to the date by the organisers. \nWe’re so proud of all the progress and passion our dancers have shown so far this year. They’ve worked incredibly hard\, and we can’t wait to see them shine on stage in the months ahead. \nAlso a big CHOOKAS to all our groups performing this weekend at Lakeside Dance Challenge  – we know you’ll give it your all! \nAs always\, thank you for your flexibility with these updates.

SUMMARY:Tiny Tots Open Week - Week 10
DESCRIPTION:Tiny Tots Open Week – A Special Invitation for Our Littlest Stars! \nWe’re so excited to invite our lovely Tiny Tots families to Open Week at the National College of Dance! This is a beautiful opportunity for you to step inside the studio and see the joy\, imagination\, and learning your child experiences each week in dance class. \nAll Tiny Tots classes will be open\, and you are warmly welcome to attend your child’s class during their usual scheduled time. \nDuring Open Week\, you’ll get to: \nMeet your child’s teacher and see how they guide the class with care and creativity.Watch your Tiny Tot in action as they move\, learn\, and grow.Enjoy a behind-the-scenes peek into what they’re working on and how they’re developing new skills. \nWe know how special it is to watch your little one dance\, but we also want to gently remind you that for many Tiny Tots\, having family members watching can feel a little overwhelming. Some children will light up\, while others might become a little shy or unsure with an audience so close. This is completely normal – and nothing to worry about! \nPerforming in front of familiar faces is often harder than dancing on a big stage. It’s similar to how adults feel when giving a speech in front of a big crowd! Experiences like Open Week gently build confidence and help prepare your child for future moments like performances or exams. \nEvery child blossoms at their own pace. Open Week is a time to celebrate your child’s unique progress – not to compare them with others. Some may participate with enthusiasm\, others may take it all in more quietly. Both are valuable parts of the learning process. \nTo help us make Open Week smooth and supportive\, we kindly ask: \nParents stay seated and quiet during class\, as talking can be distracting for the dancers and teachers.Phones are kept on silent\, and photos or videos are only taken with the teacher’s permission.Offer quiet encouragement\, even if your child seems shy – they’re learning and growing every step of the way. \nWe can’t wait to welcome you into the studio to see the magic your child creates each week. Your presence and support mean so much to them (even if they’re pretending not to notice you!). \nThank you for being a part of our NCD family. Let’s make it a joyful and heartwarming Open Week for our tiniest dancers.
