Amanda and Jess look forward to inviting you to the

Welsh Champs Experience!

CROESO I GAERDYDD, PRIFDDINAS CYMRU!

2022 what a weekend!

Thanks to all the dancers that came from around the country to mingle with a great South Wales turnout. It was great seeing so many spectators and competitors at the freestyles. The dancing was off the scale, with amazing performances and congratulations to Max and Chrissy the new Open Dragon Champs. Every year we try and enhance the experience and Amanda and I have worked hard to make our first Champs memorable for you all. We hope you had an amazing time. Do we think the best addition this year might have been the pizza van?! If you have any suggestions let us know.

Great music all weekend from our superstar DJs. Jonathon's ‘Dance with the Stars’ Freestyle sensational mix prepared everyone for the competition. A great Tag comp! Marcy's Silc, was sublime and did you see the finale inspirational dance on stage (click here)?

Kieran, great songs to tax and encourage great performances. The first time some reggae mixes at the Welshies?! The filler tracks were sooo much fun! Jon kept us going, when we were all tired, to the early hours. Then Jen's performance at FLAVA magic!!! What a way to end the weekend.

Judges we all appreciate the skill and concentration you provide, Kate & Ivan Hasseldorf, Jamie & Jen, Kate, Lily & David, Janette, Zoe & Richard, Matt, Tim & Heather, Chloe and Cane. Eleri did a sterling job looking after the judges. Thanks to the Head Judge who surveyed the video footage and made the big decisions Bev.

The dream team... Gorgeous but nutty Compere's, Charlie & Lyndsey! Graham, we loved your photography and James thanks for videoing the dancing. A big thanks to Kathleen, Christopher & Iona for doing the scoring statistician work behind the stage. Setup/ take down crew, Richard, Ryan, Nick, Tim and Andy.
