The venue ballroom will be seating only (no tables). Make sure you prepare in advance by  bringing to the ballroom only what is necessary. There will be no space for large suitcases or bags and you will be asked to store these in your hotel room or another space if you bring too much.

We are busier than ever this year! Due to the event's size and ballroom capacity, we will strictly enforce a no-seat-saving policy. 

Coats, bags, and other items should not be placed on seats to reserve them for friends or family members who are not in the ballroom.

Please do welcome all dancers and guests to any available seats near to you. We expect to be completely full and there will be no room for empty seats.

The competitor changing and staging area must only be used by competitors dancing in the current and upcoming session. For extra comfortability and space, consider using your hotel room to get ready if you are staying in the host hotel.

Hot food should not be brought into the ballroom. Snacks and drinks are OK. The bar will be open from 12 p.m. each day.

The Europa Hotel is extremely well located to food and drink outlets around Belfast City or you can dine in the hotel restaurants. 

Remember, if you are travelling internationally to the UK, you will require an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) or Visa to enter the country from 2 April. It can take up to 3 days to gain approval.
