Activities & Events
Annual Shows
The highlight each year at Oris Dance is our annual show. Normally held at the St. Helens Theatre Royal we encourage each and every one of our dancers to take part. It's always such an exciting day for our dancers and a great celebration of our achievements throughout the year. And it's a treat for parents and families who get to see their very own superstars shine on stage.
Exam Sessions
All of our dancers are offered the chance to take modern stage, ballet or tap exams with the Allied Dancing Association and/or IDTA. There are a number of additional awards that dancers can be put forward for, for example, drama and singing.
Since opening our doors more than 10 years ago now, we have always achieved 100% pass rate in exams. Our most recent exam results were our best to date with some outstanding results and comments from the examiner.
Theatre Trips
We sometimes take our dancers on coach trips to watch ballets, pantomimes, musicals and other live performances, to widen our performance experience. The trips are also a wonderful opportunity to socialise with friends we've made in class.
Charity Events
Our advanced class has performed at a number of charity events, helping to support local initiatives within our community. If you would like us to consider performing at your event, get in touch.
We also take part in UK-wide events, such as dance-athons to support fantastic causes such as Children in Need.

Tapathon 2018
Well done to 60 of our dancers who took part in this year's Children in Need Tapathon on SUnday 18th November. The atmosphere was electric with all those shoes tapping together!
We're now waiting to hear whether we have beaten the current Guinness World Record for the largest tap dance across multiple venues. But if not, we still had a great fun day and raised lots of money for Children in Need. Thank you and well done to everyone involved.
We welcomed ex Pussycat Doll and TV dance judge, Kimberly Wyatt, for an exciting end-of-term dance workshop!
We were so excited to have Kimberly Wyatt join us on the afternoon of 21st July. Kimberly ran two workshops for two different age groups working on technique, confidence and a fantastic commercial routine with us. There was also time for lots of photos and autograph signing! A fantastic day - thank you Kim! x
