Wow!  Sunday November 12th was truly magical!  It was the day of our annual Club Dynamite Showcase.

Club Dynamaite gymnasts once again took over the Great hall, at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, to showcase many of the amazing skills they have learned throughout 2023.  Over 2000 people came along to watch our gymnasts in action, making it the largest gymnatics performance in Australia!

All gymnasts performered a group routine to friends and family and all those who performed were presented with a trophy at the end of the show.  The excitiment was next level, with thunderous applause, lifitng the roof of the Convention Centre, non stop for the entire show!

We opened the show withour amazing Senior Performance Team, performing their award winning "Never Enough" routine, you could not hear a pin drop in the packed stadium as the audience took in their breathtaking performance and realised how increible the show was going to be,  Next up was all of our Gold and Platinum gymansts, performing their routine to "seasons of love" from the musical rent.  These gymnasts came together from 7 different classes, and despite training once a week, they showed us an incredible standard of tumbling, balance, felxibility, skill and performance.

This was followed by an energetic performance from our Mini Performance Team, as they flipped across the stage with their multi award winning routine "Ease on down the raod", from the musical the wiz.  these gymnasts may only be 6, 7 and 8 years old but they sure can flip and entertain!

Continuing in the traditional of the musical the Wiz, we were next entertained by our WAG Monday, Wednesday and Friday WAG gymnasts with their routine "Brand new day".  They were joined by Dorothy, The scarecrow, the tinman and the cowardly lion, in an incredible routine full of fun and flips.

The audience then had the chance to enjoy a total change of pace with a solo routine, performed by Senior Performance Team soloist Jemma G.  Jemma performned her beautiful lyrical Acrobatics solo - one Thousands years, that had won her many awards this year.  What an inspriation to all of our gymnasts.  The energy then went through the roof as our Junior Performance Team stepped in time, to their Mary Poppin medley, boucning, tumbling, flipping and jumping to well known songs "Chim chimeny"and "Step in time".

We then had the real treat of seeing our Gymstar kids take to the stage.  Over 100 adorable Gymstar kids flocked down to the floor, to perform their Gymstar medley.  They began with some energetiuc dancing and showcased their strength and flexibility to the ctachy steps song "5, 6, 7, 8".  Then they showed us their wonderful handstands, cartwheels, forward rolls, balances and poses to the beautiful song "never grow up".  As a real treat at the end, they all flowed back onto the floor with a ribbon for a beautiful display of rainbow movement together, to thunderous applause from the audience.

Following ouir Gymstar spectacular display, our Senior Performance Team graced the floor once again, this time with their explosive and dynamic routine "From now on" inspired by the Greatest showman.  their incredible standard was such an inpsiration to all of our gymnasts, to see what an amazing standard they can reach with their gymnastics, with persistence and effort.

Next it was time for our Boys to shine.  Boys randing from 5-12 years of age, bounced to the floor from our Junior Boys and MAG level 1, 2 and 3 programs.  Our boys performed to "Everybody jump".  And won over the audience with their carefree energy,  It was a joy to see the different levels of progress from our youngest boys, to our competitive level 3's.

Then the Mini Performance Team wowed us once more, with their novelty routine "I won't grow up" from peter Pan.  They showed that not only are they amazing tumblers, but they are incredible actors as well.  The routine was so much fun, and these little gymnasts just filled the great hall with their larger than life personalities!

Our WAG Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday gymnasts hit the floor next, with a routine to a medley of songs from Barbie movies.  These girls show grace, skill, joy and team work as they showed us so many of the amazing skills they have mastered in their classes, to their inspiring music, they really did epitomise girl power!

Next our Junior Performance Team returned to the floor, to show us their beautiful and moving routine "Bui Doi" from the musical Miss Siagon.  These girls are only 8-12 years of age, but displayed this beautiful story with so much depth and understanding, and wowed us with their amazing team work and technique.

Inspried by the disney channel movie "The decendents" our Shooting Stars and Bronze gymnasts performed for us next, to the song "Break this dawn".  These gymnasts were from 10 seperate classes, and came together for the first time on the day to show us their routine.  There was a great range, of levels, including somke gymnasts with only a few weeks training, having the confidence to stand up and perform for 2000 people!

Next was a real treat as our Senior Performance Team returned to the Floor once more to perform their "Can Can" routine.  This was an absolute crowd favourite, the cheering was raucous the entire routine, as every member of the 2000 strong audeicne clapped energetically along to the performance.

As we drew close to the end of the show, our Bronze Plus and Silver gymnasts exploded onto the floor.  Coming together from 18 different classes, they displayed their skills to the song "firework". and worked together like seasoned professionals.  Giving us a real treat at the end, when the entire group set off a firework of their own.

Then it was time for our final routine of the day, a moving piece to "You will be found" from the musical dear Evan Hanson, performed by all members of our Mini< Junior and Senior Performance teams to showcase the greatest part of gymnastics, the wonderfukl friendships we make.

After being thoroughly wowed by the show, all our gymnasts returned to the floor for their trophy presentation.  The gymnasts were so excited to receive their amazing trophies, which were over 30 cms tall!  It was pure joy to see the looks on their faces as they ran back to their parents holding those trophies high over their heads in triumphant joy!
