Blackpool Dance Festival for Juniors 2008



It is Easter Monday; it is time for the 2008 British Junior Dance Festival to start! This extremely popular international event takes place at the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool.



For a week, couples coming from all over the world will be representing their country in the great number of events taking place every day. Being able to take part in this dancing tournament is an amazing and unforgettable experience.





The true international character of this Festival is seen in the ever increasing number and variety of entries and almost every European country is also represented with the Eastern countries having the greater number of couples, in particular Russia and Ukraine but also many from Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Latvia, South Africa, Belarus, Norway, Estonia, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Kazakhstan, Italy, Portugal...

Approaching Blackpool Tower for the first time that week, all couples can feel so much excitement and the hope in everyone, then you enter this stunningly beautiful Ballroom hall and admire the excellent dancing that would be displayed.



Most British Juvenile & Junior couples taking part are hoping to get one or two recalls with our top ranking Juveniles & Juniors aiming to reach the quarterfinal, hopefully the semi finals and rarely a final.

.2008 has been a fine year with a number of Juvenile couples reaching quarter finals, semi finals and 1 couple not only reaching all finals but winning many events and a number of Junior couples reaching quarter finals and 2 making semi finals, in Open and U14s!


This dance festival is also the host for the Junior & Juvenile Team Matches which are highly contested.
