Jersey's legacy at DWC
Jersey has a proud history with the Dance World Cup, having hosted the Finals in 2016 – a monumental event that brought over 3,000 dancers to our shores. That spirit of hospitality, excellence and community continues in every Jersey team that competes. This year's delegation carries that torch forward, proving once again that our Island's dance talent is world class.
Team Jersey is very Grateful to Ogier and Prestige Safety Training for sponsoring their tracksuit top.
