Dance World Cup 2027 Ireland Qualifiers
Overview
The Dance World Cup Ireland Qualifier is the live qualifying competition for dancers resident in the Republic of Ireland. The 2027 edition runs over four days, Tuesday 16 to Friday 19 February 2027, at the Scientology Community Centre Dublin.
Dancers who qualify go on to the Dance World Cup 2027 World Finals in Lisbon, Portugal, from 29 June to 9 July 2027. Dance World Cup suggests a qualifying mark of 70 points or above.
Every dancer at the finals has to qualify first, and where a qualifying competition runs in your country of residence, that is the one you enter. Dancers in Northern Ireland qualify separately, by video audition through Dance World Cup UK. The Dance World Cup guide explains both routes.
The qualifier's own entry closing date has not been published yet. Ask danceworld.ireland@gmail.com before planning entries.

Dancers aged 4 to 25 who live in the Republic of Ireland and want to compete at the 2027 World Finals in Lisbon.
