It's showtime: Rugby league and dance collide under the Vegas lights
Rugby League Las Vegas, presented by JD Sports, is set to launch the 2026 NRL Telstra Premiership season in the United States, generating significant off-field enthusiasm among fans at Allegiant Stadium.
Now in its third installment, this event will showcase one of the sport's most thrilling atmospheres in a premier entertainment destination, featuring a match between the Bulldogs and the Dragons, followed by the Knights taking on the Cowboys, and heavyweight teams Hull KR and Leeds competing.
In February, LEAPX Dance Vegas will also take the spotlight. This grand initiative aims to unite up to 800 talented young dancers and cheerleaders from the UK, USA, and Australia. They will train under the guidance of LEAPX's elite international team, which includes prominent NFL cheerleaders and choreographers.
Throughout the months leading up to the event, participants will collaborate to design, produce, and present an original stadium-scale performance, poised to captivate tens of thousands of attendees at Allegiant Stadium.
More than just a performance, LEAPX Dance Vegas offers a transformational experience, fostering confidence, resilience, cultural understanding, and teamwork among the youth, revealing their potential.
This impactful journey promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will leave lasting memories.
