£26 per couple plus admission

This category is all about musicality and about your own unique styling!

 

You can forget the rhinestones or flash choreographed moves and be prepared to feel the groove and get it on with our ‘funKed uP’ DJ.

 

Expect amazing music with undertones of hip hop, funk, soul, funky blues or R&B. Not your standard ‘freestyle’ category but one that will allow you to own the floor!
