We, the United Kingdom Equality Dance Council, would like you to join us in celebrating our equality dance community in the UK at the UKEDC Ball and Awards 2025!
As one of the only remaining original 1950's style Ballrooms left in the country, and the London home of equality social dancing for over two decades, we can't wait to be back at the iconic Rivoli Ballroom for a full evening of dancing and celebrations!
Bargain combination tickets for the UKEDC Ball and the Equality Fun Competition!
We are pleased to be partnering with the Equality Fun Competition again which will take place at the Rivoli Ballroom during the day on 11th October 2025. Similar to last year, we are offering individual ball tickets and combination tickets for the competition and the ball.* Combination tickets are priced to save a little money compared to buying tickets for each event separately.
The Equality Fun Competition is an informal and fun practice competition for starter, beginner and improver same-sex and equality dancers – everyone is welcome. Please head to the Equality Fun Competition page to find out more about the programme or if you want to buy competition tickets only.
