Dancing Schools UK

Join us for the toe-tapping Grand Final of Dancing Schools UK, proudly run by Step by Step Dance School Ltd.

Now in its 13th year, this fabulous Ballroom and Latin dance event is designed to inspire school children from across the region to discover dance, build confidence, and develop teamwork.

Originally launched as Strictly Junior, the event has evolved into Dancing Schools UK and, over the years, has seen more than 3,000 children bravely step onto the stage, into the spotlight, and achieve something they never thought possible — dancing in front of hundreds of people.

At this spectacular Grand Final, finalists from regional school heats across Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, and Buckinghamshire will compete for the coveted Dancing Schools UK title and the iconic Glitter Ball Trophy.

This inspiring project is proudly supported by the Step by Step Dance and Arts Foundation, continuing its mission to make dance accessible, inclusive, and life-enhancing for young people.
