I don’t come to dance events to get wound up I come to be inspired…I love the friendly atmosphere at idance, every year I’ve come when we go on stage the crew coming off says good luck, and crews waiting congratulate you on your performance… at other competitions, there is so much hostility… it’s just dancing… it’s nice when you can go on stage and compete fiercely then come offstage and just be friends with everyone.
Rikki Doughty- Achievement: Plague won the adult division at the World Hip Hop Dance Championship in 2005, marking a significant achievement for the UK on the global stage.
