ABOUT DARE TO DREAM JR
For almost a century, the songs in Disney movies have given voice to our deepest emotions - from love and loss to anticipation and celebration. These iconic scores bring diverse and magical worlds to life, whether it be a kingdom under the sea, an enchanted castle or a vibrant jungle. Dare To Dream combines our favourite Disney tunes with what lies at the core of all Disney stories: the belief that our dreams matter as we ask the characters in the story to look inside their hearts and think about something they want, something they dream about! We hope that we can inspire our young performers to speak about their dreams and to instill in them a confidence that they can achieve anything they set their minds to.
In the words of Walt Disney himself:
FIRST, THINK. SECOND, DREAM. THIRD, BELIEVE. AND FINALLY, DARE!
This production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International

NEW FOR 2024 COME AND JOIN US IN OUR BOYS ONLY CLASSES
ALL BOYS CAN DANCE!
New for 2024 are our brand new Boys Only Classes.
Dance is an incredible form of expression that builds confidence, coordination, and creativity. However, for many boys, the idea of stepping into a dance studio can be intimidating, especially if they are surrounded by a majority of girls. A boys-only dance class offers a unique and supportive environment where boys can thrive and fully embrace the art of dance. Here’s why:
- Comfort and Camaraderie: In a boys-only dance class, students are surrounded by peers who share similar interests and challenges. This creates a sense of camaraderie and mutual understanding, making it easier for boys to feel comfortable, confident, and supported.
- Tailored Training: Boys have different physical strengths and needs compared to girls. A boys-only class allows instructors to tailor training to these specific needs, focusing on building the strength, agility, and technique that complement male dancers’ natural abilities.
- Role Models and Inspiration: Boys-only classes often feature male instructors or older male students who serve as role models. Seeing other males succeed in dance can inspire young boys to pursue their passion without hesitation and break down any stereotypes associated with male dancers.
- Focus and Growth: Without the social dynamics that can come with mixed-gender classes, boys can focus more on their personal growth and skills. This environment fosters a sense of determination and discipline, allowing boys to advance more quickly and with greater confidence.
- Building Confidence: Boys-only dance classes encourage boys to embrace their passion for dance without fear of judgment. This setting helps them build confidence, not just in dance but in all areas of life, as they learn to express themselves and take pride in their talents.
- Breaking Stereotypes: Attending a boys-only dance class helps to normalize and celebrate male participation in dance, challenging outdated stereotypes. Boys can see that dance is for everyone and that their participation is not only acceptable but celebrated.
A boys-only dance class is more than just a place to learn steps and routines; it’s a community where boys can grow, learn, and thrive as dancers. It’s a space where they can develop their skills, build confidence, and be inspired by others who share their passion. If your son loves to dance, enrolling him in a boys-only class could be the key to unlocking his full potential.
