Another Award for BCD back in March

What an incredible night we all had at the Tia’s Crown Awards at Viva Blackpool back in March! We met the MP for Blackpool Chris Webb & the Mayoress of Blackpool AND won Business Champion 2026! 

Tia's Crown wrote a stunning recognition speech: 

"Burlesque Chair Dance exemplifies what it means to be a business that drives meaningful, long-lasting impact in the mental health sector. Through creativity, courage and an unwavering commitment to community wellbeing, the team has built a space where empowerment, connection and positive mental health are at the heart of everything they do.

In the past year alone, they raised an outstanding £10,000 for Mind UK through a series of ambitious and uplifting challenges that spark conversations and bring joy to audiences. The spirit of inclusivity and fun has helped break down  stigma and bring mental health awareness into the community in a relatable, human way.

Beyond fundraising, their classes offer a safe, welcoming and empowering environment where people can build confidence, express themselves freely and feel part of a supportive community. Participants consistently report improved self-worth, reduced isolation and better mental wellbeing.

This is a business that not only serves its community but actually uplifts it - using creativity, compassion and connection to champion mental health every single day."
