The Event
Relevé comes
to the capital.
Following the success of our Armagh competition, Relevé is bringing its full experience to Dublin for the first time. Three days of competition, real-time professional critique, and celebration — on a proper stage, in a professional venue.
Open to dancers of all ages and styles. Solos, duos, trios and groups all welcome. Audio feedback is included in every single entry.
Main Stage Only
Every performer — solo to large group — competes in the main auditorium. No side stages, no compromises.
Audio Feedback
Real-time feedback from the judging panel for every act. Included in your entry fee, no exceptions.
Full Weekend
LED name display, quick-change backstage, workshops, Execute!, merchandise and a full awards ceremony.

Performance
Styles
Each style is judged independently by age group. Where a style is underrepresented, an Open section may be introduced.
* Acro must blend dance technique with acrobatic elements. Standalone gymnastics stunts are not permitted. See full guidelines.
Age Groups
Age Categories
A performer's age as of 23rd April 2027 determines their category. DanceCompGenie allocates this automatically by date of birth.
Groups compete in the age category of the oldest dancer. Dancers may enter age categories above their own for duos, trios and groups, but not below.
