Thank you for your interest in MOVE IT SHAKE IT Dance competitions!
My competitions are designed to be set in a professional environment, but one that is also comfortable, fun, friendly and an exciting atmosphere for all dancers.
I want dancers to enjoy the day, not be terrified to perform on stage. Therefore, I make sure each dancer feels relaxed and comfortable within the venue. Ensuring dancers enjoy performing at competitions makes all round better performers. Equally, my competitions are very personal. I make an effort to call each dance school beforehand to speak to the teachers to go through how the day will run, make any amendments needed and answer any questions.
I have created a form which will allow you to register your dance school online via the website instead of filling in word/excel spreadsheets. (However, if you prefer a spreadsheet, please just contact me, and I will happily send across). This means you are able to use your phone/ tablet to register your dancers whilst on the go as I know all of us dance teachers have incredibly busy schedules. It is an easier layout, which will hopefully make it much quicker for you all.
Our competitions have limited spaces and fill up quickly. Schools will be entered on a first come first served basis, so if you are interested in entering your dancers please do send your entries in as soon as you can to secure your space. No payment will be taken at the point of registration, an Invoice will be sent 4 weeks prior to the event.
Just a bit of information as a reminder:
MOVE IT SHAKE IT’s first competition was in November 2014 and was hugely successful. Since then we have run various competitions in the Midlands, Harrogate, Edinburgh, London, South Wales, Cheshire, Wolverhampton, Rugby, Coventry, Leicester, Nottingham, North Wales, Manchester, Edinburgh and Essex.
This Competition is to give dancers an opportunity to compete in a Fun & Friendly environment.
I have had many experiences with dance competitions or dance schools that have not been that friendly in the past, so the point of this competition is to allow dancers to perform in an environment which is encouraging of others and supportive to all.
MOVE IT SHAKE IT Competitions are for dancers of any ability that love to dance. We promote performance in a positive environment.
The different sections we offer are as shown on the form on the comp pages/ on the registration form. It is a trophy and medaled event, so it nice for the dancers to go home with something if they have placed.
We also give special awards for those dancers who may not have placed, but have tried extremely hard, or stood out to the judges!
There are lots of different sections for your dancers to enter, and we welcome boys and girls.
