Masters of Dance Returns – Bigger and Better!
After a long hiatus, we are thrilled to announce that Masters of Dance is making its grand return on November 9th at the Hawth Theatre in Crawley! Our last event was held in 2020, but COVID-19 put a temporary pause on our celebrations. Over the past few years, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes, securing the perfect venue and refining the elements that make this event so special. Now, Masters of Dance is back in full glory, and we can’t wait to showcase the incredible talent from across the UK!
What’s Masters of Dance All About?
Masters of Dance is more than just a competition—it’s a regional, annual celebration of the hard work, dedication, and talent of dancers, choreographers, and dance schools. This event brings together some of the most passionate and hardworking individuals in the industry, highlighting their achievements and giving them the platform they deserve.
Our Focus: Performances Over Awards
While many events emphasize lengthy award ceremonies, our main focus is on putting on the best show possible. The real magic of Masters of Dance is in the performances. Dancers and choreographers from across the UK will take to the stage, wowing audiences with their creativity and skill.
Of course, we still want to recognize the outstanding talent that’s out there. That’s why we’ve kept our awards streamlined, with just three main categories:
- Dance School of Excellence
- Best Female Choreographer
- Best Male Choreographer
How Our Awards Work
We believe that recognition should be both fair and meaningful. That’s why we let you, and your supporters help decide who makes it to the shortlist. By filling out our contact form, you can submit nominations for your school, choreographers, and dancers. It’s not just about the number of votes; we also take into account what’s said about your school, such as competitions you’ve won, shows you’ve performed at, or unique contributions you’ve made to the community or your students.
Once the shortlist is created, our panel of industry experts will step in to make the final decision. This year, we’re proud to have a judging panel featuring West End choreographers, professional directors, and experts who have worked with global icons and recognised dance stars.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss Out
Masters of Dance 2024 promises to be one of the most exciting events in the region. Whether you’re performing, supporting a school, or simply coming to enjoy the spectacle, it’s an evening you won’t forget.
Stay tuned for more details about the performers, nominees, and other surprises we have in store. We can’t wait to see you there!
