We know this will be a fun and exciting show for the performers and audience.

• Enter or Exit only between performances as quickly and quietly as possible

• No video or photography during the show. We want to make sure that each person in the audience has a good view of the stage and their dancers.  Anyone seen taking video or pictures in the audience will be asked to leave.  Please take lots of pictures in the lobby with your performers. We do have a professional videographer capturing every performance and order forms are available on our website

• No food or drinks in the theatre

• Applaud loudly for all performers

• Flowers and water are for sale in the lobby!

We are very proud to be celebrating 30 years of operation in Barrhead this year! Our facility provides 3 activity studios for our students to achieve a full range of dance, acrobatic and aerial education and training in a safe and secure environment. In addition to this, Footworks provides professional, accredited instruction to all levels and ages of students.  All of our teachers are professionally trained in dance, acrobatics and aerial education and provide students with a fun and technical training program in which they learn about music, performing and the art of dance, acrobatics and aerial.

The Footworks motto is “Life is Great ... Dance Makes it Better!” Dance is a great way to develop strength, flexibility, and poise. Along with this idea, it is important that students learn discipline and respect for the art of dance. We feel it is important that children feel confident and proud of their abilities and accomplishments. In addition to this, we pride ourselves on our strong team values and strive to ensure that students gain confidence, a positive self-esteem and life long friendships! We strongly believe that students who pass through our programs become strong, independent, confident, responsible leaders of our growing society – they don’t just learn to dance, acrobatics and aerial.

It has been an outstanding year and I truly hope you enjoy this year’s Showcase. Our dance journey has been very exciting and adventurous this year and we look forward to the many years to come!!

Life is Great! Dance Makes it Better!
