Why Attend Our Championships?
Our Championships are open to any dance school that attends one of our regular events — no exclusive invites, no barriers. We’re proud to keep things inclusive and welcoming, while still giving dancers something to strive for.
All attending schools can enter:
- Friday Night Showdowns (Across-the-Floor, Duets, Battles)
- Any Duos
- All Team Sections
Soloists must qualify by placing 1st–6th at a regular event.
This keeps the event inclusive for all, while creating a space for soloists to truly
earn their spotlight on the Championship stage.

Here’s everything you need to know about eligibility, ability levels, ageing up, and how our rules ensure fairness across the board at the Championships:
Detail
Qualifying Again Before Champs in Solos
Q: Can I attend another event before Championships and try to qualify in a higher section?
A Yes! However, if you don’t qualify in that higher ability, you must still enter the Championships at the ability level you originally qualified in.
Moving Up in Ability
Q: If I place 1st or place 2nd–5th three times, do I have to move up before the Championships?
A: No — ability upgrades take effect in the next season. You can move up voluntarily and try to requalify, but once you do, you must compete in the
highest ability level you qualified in.
Teams & Duets – Staying Fair
Teams and duets follow standard progression rules, just like at our regular events. There is no qualification required for teams or duets to remain inclusive, but all must follow current ability level rules.
Q: If my team wins 1st place Beginner, do they compete in Intermediate at Champs?
A: Yes — they must enter at the new, higher ability level.
Ageing Up Before Champs
If a dancer moves up into a new age group, they must compete at the Championships in their qualified ability and their new age group. After Champs, they may choose to remain in the new ability or drop down — but never to Intro if they’ve moved up.

Make sure your in fancy dress!
