Solo & Small Group Showcase

The Solo & Small Group Showcase takes place in the New Year, leading up to Festivals and Competitions. This special performance is a chance for parents, friends, family members and the community to enjoy our Solos, Duets, Trios and small groups, before they hit the competition stage!

All proceeds go to Peninsula Young Performers (PYP).

2025 Solo & Small Groups

• More information coming soon

Schedules

• Schedules will be posted here when they come available

Criteria

Solo and small group selections are by invitation.  We are looking for the following criteria when selecting a dancer for a solo or small group:

• Quickness in picking up and retaining choreography

• Accepts corrections well/applies corrections

• Strong technique

• Flexibility

• Musicality and rhythm

• Confidence and precision in demonstrating class material (in a group and individually)

• Wonderful stage presence - smile!

• Excellent work ethic

• Positive attitude

• Performance in class

• Shows an interest in extra practicing and rehearsing inside and outside of regular class time

• Willingness to book studio space independently & regularly to rehearse your extra dance (usually on weekends)

• Proper attire and respectful attitude

• Students who are invited to do a Solo and/or a small group in all genres other than Musical Theatre, Hip-Hop and Acro must be training in a minimum of 6 dance classes/week at Allegro & be in Allegro’s PYP Performing Company.

• Musical Theatre, Hip-Hop and Acro Solos/small groups must train in the recommended classes for those genres.

• Students must be registered at Allegro (during the same season) for the genre they are being asked to do a Solo/Small group in. Students participating in solos and/or small groups agree to train exclusively with Allegro Performing Arts Centre and are not permitted to perform at Festivals/Competitions, or do continuous training with other studios/companies other than Allegro/PYP.

Some students may have most or all of the above when performing within a group, but are not as confident and precise with the material when performing individually or in a small group.  If your dancer is not invited to perform in a solo or small group, this does not mean they are not a great dancer!
