And just like that… an unforgettable weekend comes to a close at the Hall of Fame Championships 2026 in Cork 🪄🇮🇪

From the very first step to the final awards, the energy in the room never dropped. Three full days of world-class talent, electric atmosphere, and nonstop moments that truly set this event apart.
We were honoured to welcome an incredible international panel of adjudicators from the USA, Australia, the UK, and Ireland — including the amazing Abby Lee Miller, who travelled all the way from the USA to be with us.

Across the weekend, dancers experienced so much more than competition…
✨ High-level workshops
✨ Unmatched performance opportunities
✨ Incredible prizes and recognition at our Awards evening
✨ A standard of talent that continues to raise the bar

This is what makes Hall of Fame different.
This is what makes it special.
Thank you to every dancer, teacher, studio, and supporter who brought the passion, the commitment, and the magic.
You made this weekend what it was.

If you were there, you know.
If you weren’t… we’ll see you next time 👀

We’re already looking forward to Hall of fame 2027 in Cork - Bigger and better? ABSOLUTELY

‘THE EUROPEANS 2026’
What a way to finish the season 🤯

The standard 🔥
The atmosphere 🔥
The start & finish times 🔥
The workshops 🔥
As event organisers, we always make time to sit in the audience whenever we can, we had several opportunities to do just that last weekend and what we witnessed was nothing short of spectacular. Some of those performances wouldn’t have looked out of place on Broadway or the West End.
Ireland is home to not only some of the most talented dancers, but also some of the most creative choreographers. 👏✨
A huge congratulations to all of our European Championship Title Winners who will join us for dinner and an evening at Bord Gais Theatre to see ‘ANNIE The Musical’ what an incredible achievement!

Thank you to every dancer, teacher, parent and supporter who helped make it one of the most exciting weekends of the year.
Your support is very much appreciated at Dance Empire events
❤️
We’re also incredibly sorry to everyone we couldn’t accommodate this time around. We know how disappointing that can be, and we can’t wait to welcome you to one of our upcoming events very soon. 💙

A huge thank you to our esteemed panel of adjudicators:
@benwwalsh @hayleyjokristine @benjamindiathcreative @ruthieblaze @samuelbateson @teelilydancecompany and of course our wonderful host with the most @aaroncorcoran and our amazing team who work so hard before, during & after the event.
