Just a few of the highlights from Summer Smash 2025 :)








Join us in sunny Nelson and kick off your dance year with Summer Smash, the fun, social and relaxed Dance Weekend.
The next Summer Smash in 2026…..
BUT PLEASE READ THIS STATEMENT IN FULL FIRST :)
We’re excited to share that we’ve booked the same amazing venue for February 2026 !!!
However, there’s a small catch - the hall is scheduled for internal roof renovations sometime this year (though the exact timeline hasn’t been confirmed yet).
As we all know, building projects can be unpredictable…
So, while our booking is locked in for the date below, we recommend:
1️⃣ Holding off on booking flights and accommodation for now, but still pencil in the date.
2️⃣ If you do book, ensuring your plans are flexible - just in case (even if the chance of changes is a microscopic 0.0000000000146% 🤣…. Summer Smash Beach Party anyone???).
We’ll announce any updates in our Facebook group and Main Summer Smash Page once the renovation dates are fully confirmed. Stay tuned!!!
2026 Dates are February 13th-15th… See you for another Valentines day weekend
