TRAINING CHAMPIONS AND BEING THE BEST YOU CAN BE
The League
The League for dancers has been running in the UK for over 35 years and is open to registered Latin American and Ballroom dancers of all ages from schools across the country
.
Dance studios enter teams of four couples to compete in age-groups with regional heats that run throughout the year building up to a ‘Nationwide Finals’ competition in December, often held in Blackpool – the home of Ballroom dancing!
​
Diamond’s encourages students to take part in this fun and inclusive competition as it enables dancers to hone their skills as well as building confidence and school spirit.
​
Diamond’s has been the proud winner of the Supadance League Memorial Cup for over 25 years.
IDTA Nationwide Medallist of the Year
The International Dance Teacher’s Association (IDTA) is a leading dance qualification awarding body and membership association for professional dancers, and one of the largest and most recognised dance organisations in the world.
One of the most prestigious events in the IDTA calendar is the Medallist of the Year Championships, held at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.
Every year over a hundred Diamond dancers qualify in the Southeast heats to compete at the ‘Finals’.

“We are proud of every pupil representing our school, whether they make the winners podium (which many do) or not. Seeing dancers of all ages that we have trained step onto the floor with confidence and reach their goals is the reason that we do what we do.” Jacqui Donaldson, Principal
