UK dance schools are looking further afield.
More and more are planning dance trips abroad — not just for fun, but to compete.
In July 2027, That’s Showbiz International heads to Madrid, Spain.
It’s open to all ages, all group styles, and schools from across the UK, Europe, and beyond.
It’s a proper international finals experience — with a format that works for real dance schools.
Here’s why teams are getting on board.
1. One-Day Competition. Two Days of Theme Park Access.
You’ll compete in a one-day international group dance event — then enjoy everything else the trip has to offer.
The whole event takes place at Parque Warner Madrid, one of Europe’s top theme parks.
You get:
- 1 day of performance
- 2-day theme park access
- A full theatre experience inside the park
- Reserved performer zones and support from our UK team
It’s a mix of competition, showcase, and school trip — all in one.
Make the trip aslong as you’d like!
2. A Full Dance Trip Abroad
This isn’t just a stage in a foreign venue. It’s a true dance travel experience.
Your dancers:
- Perform in a high-quality international event
- Represent your school and community on a European stage
- Celebrate their year together — as a team
- Take home more than a medal — they take home memories

3. From Didis to Adults — Everyone’s Welcome
This is an all-ages event.
We welcome:
- Classic, Modern, Hip & Open
- Group routines only (no solos or duos)
Whether it’s their first international trip or their tenth, dancers will get the chance to perform in front of a diverse audience.
4. Levels That Make It Fair
We place groups into one of three entry levels:
- Spotlight – For newer or less experienced teams
- Elevate – For confident, well-prepared groups
- Prestige – For advanced teams who bring top-level polish
You don’t choose your level.
We assess your routines and place you where you belong — so you’re dancing against schools with similar training and style.
It keeps the playing field fair and enjoyable.
5. International Schools Are Coming
This isn’t just a UK thing.
We’re welcoming schools from:
- France
- Spain
- Italy
- Ireland
- The USA
- And more being added
This is a true international group dance event.
Your dancers won’t just compete. They’ll meet others, see new styles, and perform in front of a diverse, global crowd.
6. We Know It’s a Big Step — and We’re Making It Workable
Taking your team to an international dance competition is exciting — and yes, a big step.
