Proudly sponsored by Palladium Competitions Dance for Kids is an event initiated by charity Cash for Kids.
After the huge success and excitement of the event in 2024, Cash for Kids and Palladium Competitions are extremely excited to see the glitz and the glam on the dance floor this year!
Held in the iconic Beach Ballroom near Aberdeen Beach, Dance for Kids takes inspiration from the beloved television sensation Strictly Come Dancing, bringing together Adult pairings in a spirited Ballroom and Latin competition, all competing for the coveted title of 'Dance for Kids Champion'. Adding to the excitement, the event will kick off with a Junior competition, where Junior pairings will compete for the title of Dance for Kids Junior Champion.
The charity warmly invites individuals to participate in this thrilling event. Whether you're eager to learn a new skill, support fundraising efforts for local children, or simply revel in the joy of dance, Dance for Kids offers the perfect opportunity. No prior dance experience is necessary—all that's needed is a willingness to learn. Participants can register with a partner, colleague, family member, or individually, with the charity facilitating matches for solo applicants. Upon confirmation, competitors will receive four one-hour dance lessons and will have a few weeks to rehearse for the main event.

The event is set to raise money for the Winter Warmer Appeal, an appeal to provide local children and young people with warm winter clothing and takes place later in the year. In 2024 the charity supported 2,637 through the appeal. Each year the appeal sees more and more applications and is crucial to the many children and young people in the region who may face the harsh winter without adequate warm clothing. This campaign is a significant focus for the charity as the colder months approach.
Jamie Smith, charity manager said: "We are very excited to be bringing back Dance for Kids to The Beach Ballroom. Last year was an amazing success and there is a real appetite to learn some Ballroom and Latin dancing, and we are thrilled to give people the platform to learn and help raise money for our Winter Warmer Appeal. I am looking forward to seeing those who are successful, in the studio and on their journey to the main event. We are very grateful to Palladium Competitions for supporting the event and we hope they enjoy the Dance for Kids journey!"
Skye at Palladium Competitions said: “We’re so excited to be working alongside Cash for Kids on Dance for Kids. The day itself sounds thrilling and we cannot wait to see how the participants do. It’s so important to us that the money raised is going to such a worthwhile campaign and that all the children get the appropriate clothing they need!”
