Leicester's Best Dance Crew

Last year at Leicester's Best Dance Crew, one of our resident dance crews, 'BASE' stole the crown and became titled 'Leicester's Best Dance Crew 2012'! This year, at LBDC 2013, BASE return to the competition to hand the crown down to the next champion, and perform to remind everyone at Curve why they won the previous year. 

This year we at Studio 79 are proud to have 3 dance crews involved in the competition - not only do we have our crew BASE returning to perform, but last years runners up TXS and new comers The Rubydolls are entering for their chance to steal the crown!

The show at Curve on Sunday February 17th has now SOLD OUT so we are more than excited for the day to arrive - the atmosphere is going to be electric! 

We hope to see you there, but if you weren't lucky enough to grab yourself a ticket, do keep your eyes peeled on the box office incase there are any ticket returns!
