The non-profit organisation administered by a dedicated group of teachers and enthusiastic parents has been rehearsing for the last three months.
Principal dance teacher Leanne Ryder said this year was going to be bigger and better.
"Next week we finally get to show case all of our dances from kindy to senior with a total of 140 students," Ms Ryder said.
"The audience will be treated to classical ballet, contemporary, jazz, funk, tap and theatrical."
Ms Ryder said their shows were always themed with stories that everyone knew.
"This year our show is called the golden ticket which is based off Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory."
We have a total of eight teaching staff and rely on a huge amount of volunteers and make all of our own props," she said.
The performances will take place on Friday November 29 and Saturday November 30 from 7pm at the Mount Isa Civic Centre.
The community based dance school has been running for 23 years.
Tickets can be bought from the Mount Isa Civic Centre.
