Something as busy and complex as the Champs can only be achieved with the help of a great team. We're very grateful to have the help and expertise of the people below. If you're interested in getting involved then please get in touch.
Event Directors - Deb & Matt
We're here to ensure everyone has a great time at a safe, well organised and enjoyable event. We love being hosts and seeing everyone dance and build friendships with dancers from Christchurch and beyond. We're always open for a chat or to help with any questions you may have.
Competition Director - Deb
The competition director is here to help with all aspects of competing and judging such as helping you with rules, judging criteria and anything else. This is a bit like Head Judge but encompasses a bit more and is less scary 😉
As stage manager, Becky ties all the pieces together, working with everyone with the team to ensure they have everything they need. She's also fanatical about giving the dancers the best experience we have to offer and works tirelessly to keep everything running smoothly.
Our crew over the Champs weekend work tirelessly to provide you with the best experience we can.
