Our inaugural competition was in Belfast 2016, Northern Ireland on the weekend of the 16th and 17th April. The competition took place at the internationally renowned Waterfront Hall. The Waterfront Hall is an award-winning, arts and entertainment centre situated on the Lagan river in Belfast. The competiton was such a success it will be taking a tour around the U.K & Ireland in 2017. Our 2018 April event took place in the fantastic MAC Theatre in St Annes Square Belfast City Centre. We sold out with more than 440 amazing dance acts gracing our stage. 2019 saw us storm the stage of The Lyric Belfast and Dublin was also a roaring success.
