It’s the dance battle you’ve been waiting all year for – Common People Dance Eisteddfod is back to kick off Joondalup Festival 2026 with spectacular energy, and our sequined suburban gladiators are ready to bring the heat. Cue the jazz hands!

Four mighty teams from all walks of life will slog it out in community halls across 6 weeks, perfecting their routines, bedazzling their costumes, and preparing for the ultimate showdown.
All bets are off because cheating is condoned, sabotage is allowed, and bribing the judges is actively encouraged (by the judges themselves!).

Who will claim the precious trophy and all the glory? The Legwarmers? The Hightop Crew? The Boombox Brigade? Or Perm Power? Only the biggest moves, loudest cheers and most spectacular performances on the night will decide.

Four teams. One trophy. Unlimited glory. Let the games begin!
