RELEVÉ 2026

WE ARE PLEASED TO BE RETURNING TO THE PRESTIGIOUS

MARKETPLACE THEATRE, ARMAGH

FRI 20TH – SUN 22ND FEBRUARY 2026

Dancers from across the island will come together to compete, celebrate and grow in their art form.

Built Upon

THREE PILLARS

COMPETITION

Performers will show off their incredible talents across a variety of styles. We offer competition categories for solos, duets, trios and groups. Entrants are assessed across ability, talent, individuality and technique.

CELEBRATION

Anyone who enters the competition can sign up for a Relevé media pack captured by the award-winning Bradley Shoots Dancers. Media packs are an excellent resource for any dancer's portfolio or social channel.

CRITIQUE

A particularly special element of Relevé. We want our performers to have the opportunity to learn from the best in the business.
