Calling all choreographers, dance teachers, workshop leaders and emerging dance artists!

An exciting new dance festival is planned for Bristol and the surrounding area, to take place late 2017/early 2018.

The festival will provide performance opportunities for all ages, abilities and styles of dance from the community as well as a platform for emerging dance artists to share their work and engage with the other performers through workshops.

We are currently looking to collect contact details from groups who fit one of the following criteria:

• Dance schools/groups who do not often have the chance to perform on a professional stage
• Youth or Community groups who currently provide/would like to provide dance sessions to those who often do not have access to dance
• Groups who provide/would like to provide dance to those with physical disabilities or learning difficulties (youth or adult)
• Adult dance groups of any age
• Dance Artists who are interested in showcasing their work and leading professional workshops
• Students/Volunteers looking for hands on backstage or event management experience and the possibility of taking their Gold Arts Award (accredited by The Arts Council and Trinity College, London which provides UCAS points for University applications)

Please note submissions are open to ALL ages, abilities and dance styles.  The festival will aim to celebrate the diversity of dance opportunities on offer in the region.

Please email Lena to find out more about the plans and register your interest.
