Many schools have been invited to participate in this competition through many other qualifying competitions before the London Youth Games Dance Competition. One of these schools was Tiffin Boys

Dance Company! Tiffin Boys Dance Company was representing the borough of Kingston Upon Thames in the KS3 (Key Stage 3) competition. Tiffin Boys Dance Company travelled to The Copper Box Arena in London where the LYG (London Youth Games) Dance Competition was taking place. The Copper Box is a large building consisting of an Olympic sized basketball court where; basketball, wheelchair basketball, handball, volleyball, netball, fencing, badminton, gymnastics and much more is played. The Copper Box also includes retractable seating for up to 7,500 spectators.

Upon arrival at the Copper Box Arena Tiffin Boys Dance Company were directed towards their seats where they would be staying for the majority of their time at the Copper Box Arena. Tiffin Boys Dance Company patiently waited for other schools to find their seats at the arena before the competition and performances started. The build up to each performance was greatly commenced by a fun and lively presenter. The first performance was performed and the competition was

already up to a great start with the first school setting the bars high. Many performances followed and Tiffin Boys Dance Company knew there was a tough competition waiting ahead. But before they knew it Tiffin Boys Dance Company was ready to perform. With their costumes on and a matter of seconds to go on Tiffin Boys Dance Company were eagerly waiting for a “ yes ” to enter the stage. They were given a “ yes ” and Tiffin Boys Dance Company walked onto

the stage. They got into their positions and the music started. They elegantly moved to the beat and ended with a great lift to conclude their performance. Tiffin Boys Dance Company had done a great job, the judges definitely were impressed by them. They walked to their seats and exchanged sighs of relief. After a few more performances the competition had ended all that was needed was the results.
