The UK Formation Championships is a historic competition which has, for many years, not been held. Thanks to Philip Wylie, the Championships were reinstated in June 2011 and competitions were held for Juvenile, Junior and Adult formation teams at the wonderful Tower Ballroom in Blackpool.

Twelve teams, including representatives from China, Germany and the USA, came to Blackpool to contest the 2011 British Open Latin Formation Championship, making it the biggest British Open formation competition for over 20 years. Six teams were recalled to the final and XS Latin, after dancing a superb final, were pleased to finish in fourth place, making them the highest ranking European team in the competition.

Taking its inspiration from the Kander and Ebb musical, XS Latin B Team’s first routine will be Cabaret.  Featuring standards such as Money, Money, Maybe This Time, Mein Herr and the classic title track, the team hope to evoke a feel of the Broadway musical and the Oscar winning film starring Liza Minnelli.
