Miss Dance And Master Dance Finals of Great Britain Blackpool Opera House June  10th  2018

The Miss Dance and Master Dance Finals are a spectacular event (posh frocks and heels – the place to be seen!) that are held annually at Blackpool opera House. To qualify you have to be 16 years of age and win a qualifying heat, of which there around 50 throughout the UK, each year. To qualify is a fantastic achievement. The event to watch is amazing, when Miriam qualified we had a mini bus that picked us up in Huddersfield on the morning of the final and after our Bucks Fizz took us directly to the opera house.

The final begins at 12 noon with a spectacular opening involving all the dancers who have qualified for both Miss Dance of Great Britain and Master Dance. The first 25 Miss Dance competitors dance and then after a comfort break the next 25 dance. From memory there is then a short break, before they announce the 12 Miss Dance Semi Finalists. There is then the Master Dance heat, which usually involves 15 of the best male dancers in the UK. A showcase is usually performed, before the Miss Dance semi finals and then the grand final involving 6 Miss Dance and 6 Master Dance competitors.

Tickets are not available on line, they are only available through the IDTA’S designated seller.  If anyone from Rhythms does want to go and support Danielle and hopefully Zara and Anna who are also trying to qualify, I need to know asap, to see if I need to organise a taxi, mini bus, coach or double decker! Tickets excluding transport are around £20 per person and I would need cleared payment before march 1st as I have to pay for the tickets by bank transfer immediately.

There will be a list on the notice board of names of those people wanting to go.

I WILL BE PUTTING ANOTHER ORDER IN FOR OUR NEW NON COMPULSORY UNIFORM ON APRIL 1ST 2018. OUR NEW UNIFORM IS WHAT WE WILL BE WERAING IN DISNEY ON THE DAY OF OUR PERFORMANCE.
