About Us

Having many years of experience attending dance festivals with our own daughters and enjoying the atmosphere and opportunities the festival experience can provide, we decided to set up our own festival local to us.  In the absence of a festival in the Bristol area during the month of February, we decided this would be the month for us.  After much searching, we found the perfect venue in Nailsea School and preparations were underway.

We are a non-profit organisation and registered as a charity under charity number 1188900 and we are members of the British and International Federation of Festivals. As of 2024 we are an All England Qualifying Festival. 

It is our aim to offer a platform for dancers aged 4-18 the opportunity for amateur performance with an educational element achieved by receiving feedback on performances from industry professionals.   We aim to offer a fun, friendly festival where young people can express themselves through the art of dance and share their joy and passion as well as the skill and dedication which goes into being a dancer. 

We look forward to warmly welcoming you to our Festival.

Best wishes,
