Secondary Schools
We offer a unique opportunity for secondary school dancers to take part in the Championships, with entry categories for solos, duos/trios, and groups. Schools compete within their own dedicated section, ensuring students are matched with others in their age group and educational setting.
Our Secondary Schools & Dance in Education programme opens the door for dance departments and students to engage with the competition world, providing valuable experience in performance, achievement, and professional development.
Schools running dance companies, extra-curricular clubs, or delivering GCSE and BTEC Dance are encouraged to participate.
