The Mystery Files – Holiday Program Synopsis
Something has gone terribly wrong… important files have been stolen, secrets are missing, and nobody knows who is responsible!
In this exciting mystery-themed holiday program, students will step into a world of clues, suspects, secret missions, and theatrical fun as they work together to uncover the truth. Inspired by classic detective adventures with a fun, dramatic twist, participants will explore acting, singing, movement, teamwork, and performance skills while creating an entertaining mystery production.
Throughout the program, students will become detectives, investigators, suspects, and larger-than-life characters as they piece together clues, solve challenges, and prepare for an exciting final performance for family and friends.
Filled with humour, creativity, confidence-building, and plenty of surprises, The Mystery Files encourages students to use their imagination, collaborate with others, and shine on stage in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Will the mystery be solved before it’s too late? There’s only one way to find out…

Holiday Program
Our Holiday Program is designed to inspire, energise and grow every performer who walks through our doors. Across singing, dance and drama, students are guided through a fun and supportive experience that builds confidence, develops strong technique and encourages creativity.
What We Do
Throughout the program, students rotate through singing, dance and drama sessions, giving them a well-rounded performing arts experience.
Each session is designed to be inclusive, supportive and engaging, allowing every student to feel comfortable trying new things and stepping outside their comfort zone.
-
Students work on vocal technique, pitch, tone and performance quality. They learn how to use their voice with confidence while exploring songs in a fun and engaging way.
Each age group works together to learn and perform a group song that is age-appropriate and ties into the theme of the program, while learning how to sing as part of an ensemble in a fun and supportive environment.
-
Classes focus on coordination, musicality and technique, helping students build strength, flexibility and performance skills.
In our program our youngest performers (Mini’s) learn one dance focusing on basic fundamentals, coordination and movement.
Junior, Intermediate and Senior students explore the styles we offer in the studio — jazz, hip-hop and lyrical.
All routines are age-appropriate, not overwhelming, and designed so every student learns something new while still having fun and feeling successful.
-
Through acting exercises, improvisation and storytelling, students develop expression, stage presence and confidence.
While drama is not currently offered as a standalone after-school class, it is an important part of our Musical Theatre Class we offer in Studio and Holiday Program.
Students will have the opportunity to learn acting scenes, with roles and line amounts adjusted to suit each age group so no one feels overwhelmed.
These sessions are energetic and engaging, encouraging bigger, bolder expression, creativity and confidence, all while having lots of fun!
More Than Just Classes
Our Holiday Program is more than learning routines and scripts — it’s about:
Building confidence both on and off the stage
Developing strong technical skills across all three disciplines
Encouraging creativity and self-expression
Making new friendships in a welcoming community
Creating a space where students feel supported, included and inspired
Whether your child is new to performing arts or already loves the stage, our program is the perfect place to grow, learn and have fun.
