Dance Events

Established in 2018 by Faye Thomson-Butt, AJT Events is a successful Dance Events Company, specialising in traditional dance festivals in the Northwest of England.
 
From our first live one day event in Crewe in 2018 our competitions have grown to span whole weekends and include a wide variety of dance genres including Greek and National dance.
 
The overall aim at our events is for dancers to have fun and celebrate dance and performance whilst also showing support to one another.  We strive to make our events friendly and welcoming so that every dancer goes away having had a positive experience with us.
 
During lockdown we were able to run two large online festivals for dancers in the UK and overseas.  Since coming out of lockdown we have been fortunate to hold festivals at Nantwich Civic Hall and the theatre at the Apollo Buckingham Health Science campus in Crewe, two spacious stage venues.
 
We are very much a family run business with Faye Thomson-Butt heading up the team, Chris Butt in charge of photography and Harley Thomson undertaking any design work.  AJT Events is named after Faye and Chris’s two sons Ashton and Jenson.

Festival Adjudicator

‘We attended AJT Events Winter Dance Festival 22 in Crewe. My little girl is only 3, this was her third competition. The atmosphere was lovely. Everyone was so friendly. Backstage everyone was so organised and supportive when the babies were waiting to go on stage. The adjudicator gave lovely supportive feedback. The whole event just had a great vice to it. All the details you sent via email were amazing as well. Hopefully we will be at another event soon!’

‘This was our first time entering one of AJT Events competitions and we loved it.  We are an online company so we loved the opportunity to have a go in an online competition and we think you should do more!  Great communication between organisers and dance school, lots of useful info and easy to enter.  Thank you!’
