The UK Dance Elite Championship is Great Britain's most diverse dance competition, creating huge opportunities beyond the winning prizes of £3000, a life-changing trip to Hollywood and the accolade of being crowned the UK Dance Elite Champion!
Previous participants have secured sponsorship opportunities, TV work, top agency representation in the UK & LA, plus being scouted for and reaching the Grand Final of Britain's Got Talent.
Attracting the very best in ALL dance disciplines, the search is on to whittle down the best-of-the-best and discover the number 1 dance act in the UK.
