✨ COMPETITION TIME! ✨

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DANCE DAY 💃🖤

We’re celebrating in style… and you’re invited. We’re giving FIVE lucky Besties the chance to win a pair of tickets to the world premiere of COUNTERPOINT OF CHAOS by the incredible Maria Caruso at His Majesty’s Theatre in London’s West End on Sunday 31 May at 7pm 🎭

Expect something unforgettable. Known for her breathtaking, powerhouse performances, Caruso returns with a bold new solo work exploring the collision of human instinct and artificial intelligence. Think raw emotion meets machine precision… beauty, tension, and a performance that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.

This is more than dance - it’s a visually stunning, thought-provoking experience that asks: Who’s really in control? Where does creativity come from? And what happens when humans and technology truly collide?

Trust us… you do NOT want to miss this.

🥳 HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEBF! 🥳

It takes an army, Besties, and this is a mere fraction of our INCREDIBLE West End Best Friend army 🎭

A number of the team met up at the WONDERFUL @thelibratc in London last night to celebrate WEBF’s 5th birthday 🎉 🎉 🎉 (It’s actually closer to 6 now but trying to get as many of the UK widespread team in one place at one time is no mean feat!)

We were thrilled to celebrate how much we’ve achieved over recent years and have ambitious plans for the future so watch this space 👀

And Besties, thank you SO much to every single one of you for your support - it really does mean the world 🙏🏻🥰
