OTB Street June 2022 – Norbreck Castle
Event Information
Always great to be in Blackpool! Super exited to hold our first event in the beautiful Ballroom at Norbreck Castle!
This is one of our smaller events aimed at a Beginner- Intermediate level
Joined by our judges Natasha, Yasmin & Dre, once again we are looking forward to an action packed day of Solos, Duos & Team sections for all ages!
Dancers can enter a maximum of 4 events at this competition-
X 2 solo events (this can be x 2 set routines or x 1 set routine and x 1 freestyle solo)
X 1 duo event
X 1 team event
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 3 main sections 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.
