PM Session

The Stafford Community Dance Project is run by a Community Interest Company, with one simple aim: to make competition opportunities more accessible to dancers and schools.Unlike most competitions, we do not charge dancers an entry fee.

There are no solo, duet or trio entry costs.

Instead, we use spectator ticket income to cover the actual costs of running the event - including venue hire, adjudicator and host fees, awards, medals, staffing and the other costs involved in delivering the day.The 15 spectator ticket helps us keep dancer entry completely free and removes one of the biggest financial barriers that can come with competition dance.This is not a profit-making event.

We aim simply to cover our costs and break even.

Any surplus is reinvested into future Stafford Community Dance Project events, and if the event runs at a shortfall, that cost is absorbed by the organisers rather than being passed back to the dancers.So, your 15 ticket isn't just admission to watch the competition: it is helping another dancer take part without having to pay to compete.
