The Verve Dance Festival in Ayr is gearing up for its 6th annual event from Thursday, January 9th to Monday, January 13th, 2025. This five-day, four-night festival is North Queensland’s premier qualifying dance competition for the Showcase National Dance Championships, offering dancers the chance to compete at the prestigious finals on the Gold Coast.
Since its inception in 2020, Verve has grown significantly, expanding from 400 to over 1,000 entries across 169 sections. It provides a unique platform for dancers to showcase their talents while fostering community spirit. This family-friendly competition invites participants as young as three years old and promises a vibrant and supportive atmosphere.
One of the key highlights of Verve is its timing during school holidays, making it easier for participants to attend without missing school. Many families turn the competition into a mini holiday, benefiting local businesses in Ayr as motels and caravan parks fill up with attendees.
Verve’s success has been recognised, earning the distinction of being the first official qualifying event on the dance calendar for the Showcase National Dance Championships. Dancers placing in the top three at Verve automatically qualify for the national finals, making it a crucial event for aspiring performers.
The festival organisers, led by founder Machelle Slatcher, are seeking sponsorship to ensure the continued growth and success of the event. Sponsors will benefit from widespread exposure, both on-site and through social media, reaching hundreds of dancers and their families.
