OTB Street Dance Competition December 2022 – Accrington Town Hall

Please find the event programme here- Sunday 4th December- Accrington Programme

Joined by our judges Dre, Ess & Special K, once again we are looking forward to an action packed day of Solos, Duos & Team sections for all ages! This is a special event for us every year as it is the last one of the year for us. There is guaranteed to be lots of Christmas music and we would love to see everyone in the Christmas jumpers & accessories!!!

We have now processed the entries for this event and are able to bring you a full schedule, age categories and some more information. Please see below the info you need to help you plan your time with us. The day will be split into 4 main sections (7 years & under, 9 years & under, 11 years & under, 13 years & under) with a couple of presentations across each section to cater for dancers that overlap in more than one section.

To help minimise the number of attendees in the room at once, please can we kindly ask that attendees where possible only attend for the sections they are involved in (rather than staying for the full day to watch all ages).We recommend attending no earlier than 30 minutes before your section starts where possible. If you do arrive early for your section, it would be a great help if you could wait in the new café area downstairs until attendees from the previous section start to leave. Please note that due to the new layout for seating in the room, if you arrive whilst a team section are dancing, we may ask you to wait downstairs for a few minutes until they have finished that section.

We suggest where possible that attendees arrive for their section no earlier than 30 minutes prior to the timetable.

Parking- As the venue is in the town centre, there is lots of on street parking around the venue, most of which is free on Sundays.

Food & Drink Policy– The venue has a bar serving hot & cold drinks all day. Hot dogs will be available and a tuck shop. Packed lunches are permitted to be brought inside the ballroom but can we kindly ask everyone to clear away any rubbish before they leave. Please don’t bring hot takeaway food or drink inside. Downstairs at the venue is a new large café area also serving drinks and this is also a good area to wait if you arrive before your section starts to help us reduce the people in the main room.

Wristbands– Please have your wristbands on and fastened securely before entering the building. Lost, damaged or forgotten wristbands will not be replaced and will have to be re-purchased.  Please see our full wristband policy on the website.
There will be a limited number of wristbands available on the door priced at £20- priority access will be given to those who have a wristband in advance.
