2nd June 2024 – United Kingdom Alliance

Join the United Kingdom Alliance Inventive Dance Competition at the Spanish Hall, Winter Gardens, Blackpool. 

The UKA event is back! Whether you’re a sequence dancer or a dance teacher, spread the word.

Inventive Dance Competition

The competition will be held to find one 16 bar original dance in each of the Classical Sequence, Modern Sequence and Latin Sequence sections. The event is open to all who are qualified in the ballroom branches. This year they have a new and exciting experimental rule where a qualified professional can dance with a non-qualified dancer over the age of 16.

The Following Rules Will Apply

• The dance must be entered by a qualified professional who is named as the arranger on the script.
• Each dance entry must be fully scripted and will be checked and verified if it wins.
• One of the demonstrators must be a qualified professional.
• The qualified professional must teach the dance if successful.

This is a great opportunity to enter your own original dance. Why not give it a go?

Social Dance Inventive Dance Competition

UKAdance are inviting teachers along with a partner to take part in an additional event to invent a general social dance in any style (including Salsa, Bachata, Social Foxtrot, and Argentine Tango). No restrictions in hold. 16 bars – please supply your own music. No script to prepare. The winning dance will have correct notes written by a UKAdance official.
