Concert 2011

IT’S DANCE SENSATION CONCERT SEASON – Woohoo!

On December 3rd Dance Sensation Lane Cove & Ermington will be taking to the stage

at the BRAND NEW “Concourse” theatre at Chatswood.

This is the all important DANCE SENSATION CONCERT BOOKLET which covers everything you need to know.

For first timers don’t be overwhelmed by all the info, just go through and highlight what applies to your class.

We are in a new venue this year so please bear with us as we settle into using a new space. We have had to increase ticket prices slightly to cover the cost of such a professional space and once you step inside you will not be disappointed. It is beautifully brand new with Stalls and Balcony seating on plush red comfortable padded chairs, excellent sightlines and acoustics, state of the art lighting and audio and most importantly (all our past audiences & performers will agree) –  AIR CONDITIONING! Travel & parking should also be easier and no lining up for ticket sales this year as it’s all done through Ticketek! Take a peek at www.theconcourse.com.au

CONCERT TICKETS

If your child is in two concerts and you are only buying tickets to one of the concerts we will provide supervision backstage for the concert that you (the parent) is not attending so that you can drop your child off before the concert and pick them up afterwards. If your child is in two concerts but you are only attending one please let Elizabeth know asap. At the end of each concert we will bring them to the stage door (Anderson St) to be collected by you. We intend for the 1pm concert to finish at 3:20pm and the 5pm to finish at 7:05pm.

Our HOT Dance Sensation Concert Tickets will go on sale Saturday 12th November from 10am.
