Thank you!
Five years ago HMNP was just one of Mommy’s questionable ideas. Now look at it.
To every performer who brought the choreography, costumes, props, facial expressions, determination, creativity, joy, and complete bonkers energy to the stage: thank you. HMNP simply wouldn’t exist without the people who keep saying “yes” to this ridiculous, wonderful adventure year after year.
And to our crew of loyal legends:
📸 @pennyryanphotography whose camera-witchcraft somehow captures everyone at their absolute peak. All photos will be online soon.
🎥 Justin Andrews, our cinematic king, preserving every wiggle, wobble, shimmy, twerk, and world-class shrimp head for posterity. All videos are up on YouTube.
🎤 MC Razz, who takes pure chaos and turns it into a show.
📞 Referee Elvis the Pelvic Floor, maintaining order through a combination of authority, flip-phone technology, and divine intervention.
🎂 DJ D.A.D, who edits tracks, runs audio, performs dressed as a cake, and calmly problme solves dancers insisting, “This is the wrong version.”
🎵 DJ Clam, provider of wall-to-wall bangers. No notes.
🚪 Our magnificent Door Crew: Mek, Phoebe, Randi, Sam, Cheryl and Tim, who kept things moving and upheld the sacred coupon laws.
❤️ Tim & the @boomtownwine crew, who host us like family for dance christmas every single year.
From the deepest depths of Mommy’s glittery heart: thank you. We adore you, we’re ridiculously proud of this community, and we cannot wait to do it all again in 2027. Until then, rest up, rehydrate, moisturise those cracked heels, and enjoy your trackies.
Mommy loves you all.

Yeah, but does anyone have a good time?
‘Wildly entertaining. Joyful. Positive. Supportive. The best.’
‘Fun, anything goes, inclusive night with mega flashbacks to classic bangers and 80s hot moves’
‘I enjoyed the silliness, creativity, coming together with new friends and old to collaborate and play together, the costumery production (and seeing others), the nervous excitement in lead up and rehearsals and going to personal edges (much respect to members of our crew who did butt reveals), the surprise of witnessing other crews’ madness, and ultimately sharing it all with such an amazing and supportive community. LOVE IT!’
‘The incredible costumes!! The sheer commitment from the dancers! The mini dance breaks for the crowd between battles. Loved the DJ set afterwards. Razz the MC WAS PERFECT! The mini trophies were adorable. The atmosphere was like a fever dream. Stratospheric.’
‘Awesome eclectic imagination of our town expressed through dance, the raucous support for each other and the diversity of performances. Love. It.’
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Dja Dja Wurrung, their Elders and ancestors, who are the Traditional Owners and the original dancers on the lands upon which we dance.
