What Is Refresh?
The idea of Refresh is to present something a little bit different both in the workshops and on the competition floor with plenty of dancing in between to Refresh your love of dance π
Following the success of Refresh 2021 and the phenomenal response to Refresh 2023 with the Team Challenges we'll be hosting another Refresh Weekend again in 2025.

Visit Christchurch
If you're visiting from out of town or even if you're local and want time to recover then we encourage you to maybe include Refresh as part of a mini break or holiday.
Take a day off either before or after - or even both - and see what is on offer in Christchurch and the surrounding area.
