Bedfordshire dance school takes biggest ever squad to Blackpool National Showcase

Entertainia Theatre School, based in Wixams and Flitwick, Bedfordshire, recently took 28 of its students to Blackpool to perform at Celebration of Youth, a prestigious national showcase bringing together talented young performers from six dance and stage schools across the country.

What makes this particularly special is the growth the school has shown year on year. When Entertainia first attended in 2024 they took just 10 students. In 2025 that grew to 20. This year, 28,  nearly tripling their Showcase Squad in just three years.

The squad, which includes students as young as five, were commended on the night for the improvement they have shown.

Nina, Principal of Entertainia Theatre School, said: "The improvement year after year keeps getting better and better. Our Showcase Squad training can be tough at times but each and every one of them overcame something on the night and I am so proud. Honestly it is the best feeling."
