THE MANOR
Elite Showcase 2026
Academy of Dance Malvern invites you beyond the gates of The Manor.
Our Elite Showcase brings together a year of dedication, artistry and exceptional performance in a hauntingly immersive production. From the precision and versatility of our competition season to the dark, mysterious world of The Manor, our dancers are ready to take you on a journey into the unknown.
Act I showcases the routines our dancers have trained, refined and performed throughout the 2026 competition season. Celebrating an incredible range of styles, this act highlights the technical excellence, versatility and artistry of our Elite dancers, alongside the commitment, resilience and teamwork that underpin every performance.
Act II invites you into The Manor — a brand-new work. Step inside. If you dare.
Behind its doors, every room holds a different secret. Each space introduces a new creature, a new character and a new world, brought to life through dynamic choreography and theatrical storytelling. As the journey unfolds, audiences will encounter the unexpected as our dancers transform the stage into a world of haunted mystery, mischief and the supernatural.
The Manor is more than a showcase. It is a celebration of the creativity, ambition and artistry of our dancers, the passion of our choreographic team, and the community that makes AOD what it is. A year of hard work culminates in one unforgettable night.
Step inside. If you dare.
