We look forward to seeing your pupils competing once again at our area competitions at venues around the UK.

The event consists of solos, pairs, quads, crews and our popular fun event – parent and child pairs. So you will be guaranteed an exciting and eventful day.

The competitions are adjudicated by Independent leading street/Hip Hop adjudicators, and dancers will have the opportunity to qualify for our Grand Finals Weekend in October 2026.
