Festivals
Dance Festivals

All England Dance is the national body of dance festivals. Festivals are usually run by volunteers and last for a few weeks. Dancers will perform in their age/style category and be judged by an examiner from a UK leading dance faculty. All dancers receive a certificate, mark & feedback.

BDA does all the group entries for the school, but parents must do their own entries for solo/duo/trios.

Competitions
Dance Comps

Dance Competitions have become more popular in the UK. Often the dance categories follow current trends. As we are a big studio we cannot take all our dances to these events as we would almost fill all of the entries. For this reason we will now only take selected team to compete and encourage novice, junior dancers to do their solos, duo/trios at Festivals.

WHO DOES ENTRIES?

BDA often has to enter dance competitions on behalf of our dancers.
