CONFIRMED JUDGES FOR THE EVENT SO FAR: STEADY (Flawless) and TOFFEE (Tru street Dance/Sticky Toffee Dance Academy)!
The search is now on to find Midlands Best Dance Crew 2011. The sensational urban dance competition comes to Birmingham Town Hall on Saturday 26 November 2011. The Midlands’ most talented crews will battle it out to win the trophy, as well as a stonking £1000, and claim the title of Midlands Best Dance Crew 2011.
After the sell-out success of last year’s competition, where crews went head to head to vie for the Midlands title, the event is now back bigger and even better.
The event is being commissioned by 2Funky and Punch. As well as the main competition, it will feature a £50 prize for the best dancer from the audience.
The Midlands dance event hopes to attract more urban talent to take part on a wider platform and create a fantastic showcase. Crews who wish to take part in the competition are being asked to register in advance by 28 October 2011.
