Daventry will welcome dancers from across the Midlands this October for a full day of ballroom and Latin competition at Daventry Leisure Centre.
Taking place on Sunday 18th October 2026, the event is organised by the National Association of Teachers of Dancing Midlands Area and combines a social ballroom and Latin competition with a qualifier for the 2027 Medalist of the Year.
Whether you are competing, supporting somebody who is, or simply enjoy watching ballroom and Latin dancing, this is a rather different local event to have on the calendar.

What is the event?
The day is officially titled the Midland Area 2027 Medalist of the Year Qualifier and Social Competition Ballroom and Latin.
It forms part of the National Association of Teachers of Dancing’s programme of regional competitions and gives dancers the opportunity to compete within the Midlands Area.
The event also acts as a qualifier for the 2027 Medalist of the Year, making it an important date for dancers hoping to progress further in the competition calendar.
Ballroom and Latin dancing in Daventry
Ballroom and Latin competitions bring together a wide range of dance styles, technique and performance.
The social competition side of the day gives dancers the opportunity to take to the floor in a competitive but community-focused environment, while the Medalist of the Year qualifier adds an extra level of importance for those taking part.
For spectators, it is also a chance to see something you may not often get to watch locally.
The combination of music, movement, costumes and competition should make for a lively atmosphere throughout the day.
Thinking of going along?
The event takes place from 9am until 5pm, although individual competition timings may vary across the day.
