In 1995 and 1996 the school, then known as the Dance Warehouse, performed weekly to packed houses throughout the summer season at the YMCA and it is delighted to be back in the Monday night slot for the third year.

Following the huge success of last summer’s show, this year's Monday Showtime features excerpts from musicals such as Smokey Joe’s Café, The Phantom Of The Opera and The Color Purple; as well as pop music from Michael Buble, The Rembrandts and a tribute to Elton John featuring songs from the new feature film Rocketman.

Janna Leith originally trained as a classical soprano and has sung professionally across the country and in Ireland where she sang with the National Chamber Choir of Ireland.

Since then she has added pop and musical theatre technique to her skill set and still performs regularly while maintaining her busy calendar as a music teacher and vocal coach. Covering a wide range of musical styles and genres Janna is a versatile vocalist.

Cameron Davis gained excellent reviews for his portrayal of Javert in the Les Miserablès and his rendition of Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar in recent Hatton Productions.
