THE Welsh Champs Experience

Amanda and Jess look forward to inviting you to the

Welsh Champs Experience

CROESO I GAERDYDD, PRIFDDINAS CYMRU!

2023 you were 10 out of 10!

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 Stephanie & Mevans the new Open Dragon Champs. Every year we try and enhance the experience and Amanda and Jess have worked hard to make the Champs memorable for you all. We hope you had an amazing time. This year we did not only have pizza but also super fast results! 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!

Jon did an amazing mix of melt-in-your-ears vibes to test 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 DJ performance at FLAVA magic!!! What a way to end the weekend. Did you dance with David the Dragon?!
