The Mardi Gras Challenge returns once again to Sadler’s Wells. A biennial competition, The Mardi Gras Challenge brings together dance schools from all across the UK. This year’s judges include Nic “Phantom of the Opera” Greenshields and Sue Arondel, Performing Arts Development Manager for Disneyland® Paris.

The Challenge includes a junior section staged in the early afternoon and a senior section performing in the evening. All winners are announced in a special ceremony that will close each show. The Mardi Gras Challenge invites audiences to support young dancers, who have been working tirelessly all year to produce thrilling and spectacular performances.
