We want young people to have access to great opportunities whilst in lockdown, we are going to bring an adapted National Schools Championships to our schools across the UK- ONLINE!

 

Kickstarting the series will be a new online solo competition. 

Young people can represent their school by submitting a 30 second solo routine, which will be shortlisted by a panel of judges and a final will be hosted on which would have been our UK Finals date- Thursday 26th June. 

 

How will this work?

We will operate the same age divisions as we would have at our national schools championships:

Primary (Years 3-6)

Junior (Years 7-9)

Senior (Years 10-13)

 

Style of dance: Street dance
