National Schools Dance Competition
The Great Big Dance Off is a popular national dance competition open to schools all across England & Wales.
This is the ONLY national dance competition aimed SOLELY at schools.
Our vision is to create an exciting competition bringing together children of all ages and abilities where the emphasis is on having a good time.
TGBDO live group competitions are back!
We are so excited to announce the return of the live group competitions. We can't wait to see everyone back for the live performances (subject to government guidelines for COVID19). And what's more, following the overwhelming success of the vitual competitions, we are also hosting the virtual solo competition again!
Each school can enter as many teams as it likes for the group competition and up to 5 entries for the solo competition. Whatever your preferred style of dancing, whatever your level of experience, we want you to be involved. A bit of imagination, dedication and teamwork is all that is required.

"Wow! What a great competition. Our girls had a wonderful day and were so proud of themselves, and getting third place was the icing on the cake for them. We cannot wait to come back next year and are already making plans."

"I just wanted to thank you on behalf of myself and my students for a fantastic opportunity. It was a wonderful experience for them not only to perform, but to be able to watch other schools perform to an incredible standard. They have come back with so many ideas and things they want to try out."
