Festivals and costumes

[Dancingdaisy3]

Hi everyone,

Please can anyone help me?

I live in scunthorpe and have two local dance festivals, one for a week at Easter, and one for a week at October half term.

We cant do one in February half term,as its our local dance schools show,I was wondering if anyone has details of any others within reasonable distance, it seems such a shame that we spend so much on choreography and costumes to not get the use of them x

Also if anyone can recommend any good costume providers, as the costumes are so much nicer now a days, I've used some sites on the Internet but always nice to hear of new/ fresh providers x

Many thanks

Hi, dd has never done festivals; the only ones I have heard of are All England Dance and Festival4Stars. (I'm no good at posting links - sorry!). Maybe you could have a look at their websites?

Re costumes - you can sometimes find adverts in the Dancing Times.

We are from Sheffield and do a couple in Huddersfield and one in Barnsley. I might be wrong but I understood that your dance teacher had to be invited to compete. Or maybe that's just the way our dance teacher does it.

They used to hold comps at parklands in Doncaster and there is also Gainsborough havnt done them in while as we moved to the other end of the country never thought I would miss them but I do ????
