READY TO ATTEND UDE?
Dance Solos / duos
Dancers must be entered into their relevant age division as per the SCUK age grid for 2023-2024. At ICE Ultimate Dance Experience events, coaches are welcome to enter soloist/s without entering teams. Please note ICE do not currently accept independent entries.
Each programme/school is permitted to enter up to 5 solos/duos per dance style (in the same age grouping or in different age groupings). Only a limited number of solo/duo slots are available at each event. Solos/duos are always subject to availability, including at Championship events. Registration for solos/duos may close early, before any deadline, at any time, including for Championship events.
The highest-scoring soloist from tiny/mini/youth and junior/senior/open in each dance style at each event will be invited to compete at the ICE Ultimate Dance Experience Championships for an ICE Royalty title. Coaches wishing to enter bid-winning soloists in the ICE Ultimate Dance Experience Championships will need to register them as normal. Registration is not automatic, and is subject to availability. Pricing is available below.
