LDA SHOW "CAPTIVATE" 2026

LDA presents "CAPTIVATE"! 

Come and see our talented students perform, as they treat you to a dancing feast! For some, this will be their last show with us, having danced at LDA from the age of 3yrs and others their first, a celebration of dance and being back in the theatre again!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY AS THERE ARE A FEW TICKET OPTIONS:

WHEELCHAIR: If you require a Wheelchair seat please purchase AA 20, 19, 2 or 1 (on the ends) and email [email protected] so I can organise the seats being removed with the theatre.

OPEN DRESS REHEARSALS - Please note: This is a dress rehearsal, not a fully polished performance.

Thursday 16th July Team 1 & All Shows – 5:15pm Tickets: £12 Show participants: £3

Friday 17th July Team 2 & All Shows – 5:15pm Tickets: £12 Show participants: £3

These rehearsals are primarily our dress and technical rehearsals; however, we are opening them to an audience at a reduced ticket price to allow you to see the creative process live. They will run as close to a full show as possible, but please be aware:

- There may be pauses for technical adjustments or to fix mistakes

- Teachers may come on stage to support students where needed

- A working finale will take place, with teachers guiding students

- A professional photographer will be present in the auditorium capturing images

This is a fantastic opportunity for students to perform in front of a smaller audience, helping to build confidence ahead of show days. These tickets are ideal for:

- Parents who would like to watch in a more relaxed setting

- Those who may prefer not to wait outside during rehearsals

- Families who may only wish to watch part of the show or students who are only in 1 half of the show and would like to watch the other half with a parent can purchase a £3 ticket
