Meet That's Showbiz
Welcome to That’s Showbiz, the UK’s most loved group dance competition! Established in 2011 and produced by Dance Design Events, we have been at the heart of the UK dance community, providing unforgettable experiences for dancers of all ages and abilities.

With years of experience in the dance industry, Jenni’s vision was to create a competition that is competitive, fair, and inclusive, offering opportunities for every dancer to shine. Her commitment to excellence is reflected in every detail, from professional adjudication to state-of-the-art production values.
