Another wonderful weekend at the festival. Amazing talent again from the children entered.

Just a few polite reminders.

A Novice Dancer:- this is someone who hasn’t placed 1st in that genre. This applies to other festivals too not just one of Lancashire Dance Festivals competitions. Once you’re in open you remain in open, you can’t drop back to novice when you learn a new solo or move up an age category.

A festival competitor:- this is someone who attends an amateur dance school for weekly lessons. Dancers doing A level or BTEC in dance or performing arts are eligible to enter too. Unfortunately once dancers go off to university working towards a degree or diploma in dance, they’re no longer eligible to enter festivals.

Thank you for kindly considering these when sending entries in.

20/05/2024

There is a generous amount of space available on the 22nd & 23rd June.

Please drop me a message if you would like to enter.

12/05/2024

A space has become available for the 22nd & 23rd June Festival.
