Cuckfield dance school holds first dance championship competition

On January 13, Kat Chase and Luke Bohanna, who run the school, welcomed dancers and crews from different schools from around the area to compete.

There was three independent professional judges, who are highly esteemed in the industry, judging on the day encouraging all the competitors to show off their best moves.

Children as young as three-years-old took to the dance floor to impress the judges in solo, duo and crew categories.

BPM Dance Academy's, Kat, said: "It’s something that hasn’t happened in the area before and we really want to ensure that our students, along with others from external schools have as much opportunity to compete and perform - as well as put the South East on the map within the hip hop world.

"Competitions were a huge part of both myself and Luke’s childhood and since opening our doors at BPM, we launched four dance crews: Logic, Titan, Eclipse and Invicta, that compete across the country at various championships alongside all our main school classes every week."

On May 11, the academy have their annual show at The Hawth in Crawley, open for the whole school to perform.

The school currently has 250 students taking part - providing them all the opportunity to perform and show off all their hard work.
