Equality Fun Competition
Rivoli Ballroom, 350 Brockley Road, London SE4 2BY
Saturday 11th October 2025: 14.00-18.00 (Doors Open 13.45)
The Equality Fun Competition comes of age and turns 21 on Saturday 11th October 2025 at the Rivoli Ballroom, London.
The Equality Fun Competition is an informal and fun practice competition for starter, beginner and improver same-sex and equality dancers – everyone is welcome. This year we continue to have a very special addition of solo dances for those who want/currently learn to dance without a partner classes C, D and Beginners only.
There will be no B or A class in the graded Ballroom and Latin competitions. Couples are kindly requested not to enter in a competition in which they have previously competed in B class or higher (classification in senior categories excluded), however you may enter another competition in which you have not previously competed in the higher classes (ie if you ordinarily dance in B Ballroom you may enter the Latin competition if you have not competed in B or A class).
*Please note that the Rivoli Ballroom does NOT allow drinks to be brought in from outside – There is an extremely well stocked cash bar inside. Please do not bring drinks into the venue as they will be disposed of at entry….We’re giving you the heads up!
Dress code: it’s a party, but wear what you like – there’s no rules to this bit!
