Secondary Dance Competition 🩰 🎶
The theme for 2026 is “Rhythms of Unity”: Celebrating the spirit of major sporting events happening all over the world where sport, culture and imagination come together as one. Mascots, the playful symbols of unity and celebration, join dancers in weaving the rhythms, colours and heritage from across the globe. Each performance reflects the heartbeat of sport- from the power of a sprint, to the grace of gymnastics and the energy of a football match. We are all connected by shared energy, determination and the joy of moving together.
