About Calling U Out

Calling U Out was created to bring dancers together through exciting, supportive and forward-thinking dance events. Our aim is simple: to use dance to build confidence, friendships and unforgettable performance experiences.

Since 2010

“To use dance to bring people together.” CUO has grown from a passion for dance events into a community-focused competition platform with over ten years of experience, creative event ideas and a love for supporting dancers of all levels.

Our Story

1

The Past

CUO began after seeing how much dancers loved competitions, but also recognising there was space to create something fresh, friendly and more inclusive. Calling U Out was formed in 2011 and held its first event in 2012.

The Present

CUO has now delivered over 100 events, with busy regional competitions and large championship events bringing together soloists, teams, teachers, families and schools from across the dance community.

The Future

CUO continues to grow while staying true to its core values: community, inclusivity, creativity and the power of dance to unite people. We are always developing new ideas to support dancers and schools.

Our Core Values

Build Confidence

We want dancers to feel proud, supported and brave enough to step onto the floor and give their best.

Develop Friendships

CUO is about more than trophies. It is about community, connection and celebrating each other.

Nurture Performance Skills

Our events give dancers the opportunity to perform, grow, learn and enjoy being part of something exciting.

#SaveTheArts

We are passionate about supporting the arts, promoting new talent and sharing the beauty of dance with the world. CUO is a place where new and experienced dancers can meet, perform, learn and grow together.

The CUO Experience

The Concept

CUO offers cutting-edge events designed to make every dancer’s experience enjoyable, exciting and positive. We encourage dancers to share their success and support one another, whether they win or not.

The Atmosphere

Our events are loud, fun and full of energy. We encourage everyone attending to cheer for dancers beyond their own school because support can mean more than a trophy.

For Everyone

Our events cater for dancers from brand new beginners through to advanced levels, giving everyone the chance to share dance, perform and be part of the CUO community.
