    There are no longer any restrictions to enter the UK but we encourage all dancers from other countries to read the latest guidance from the UK Government: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/travel-to-england-from-another-country-during-coronavirus-covid-19


    Please note, returning to your own country may come with restrictions which you'll need to check prior to attending.

  • I require a COVID test prior to returning home. Where can I get one?

    We recommend ordering a test in advance to arrive at your hotel and doing a 'test at home' if accepted by your country.
