Big Dance 2012
THE UK'S BIGGEST EVER CELEBRATION OF DANCE IS COMING TO SOUTH EAST LONDON
18 MAY - 15 JULY 2012
EVENTS OPPORTUNITIES
Big Dance will be the ultimate dance experience in 2012.
Greenwich Dance is the Big Dance Hub for South East London. As part of a UK-wide festival, we’re bringing you 8 weeks of dance in unexpected places across the region celebrating the diversity of dance styles in the capital.
We're working with local dancers, arts organisations, schools and councils across the boroughs of Bromley, Bexley, Lewisham and Greenwich to bring you a truly memorable summer.
In Greenwich our events are part of The Greenwich Festivals series, celebrating the cultural vibrancy of London’s newest Royal borough.
There’ll be cabarets, picnics and workshops for all as we make our way along the Green Chain Walk, pop up in town centres, and transform iconic buildings.
Join in and have a go at everything from Ballroom to Zumba. Or simply sit back and enjoy world class performances from some of London’s finest dance talent on your doorstep.
The Big Dance Trail begins 18 May, with events and activities around the region leading up to Big Dance Week, 7- 15 July - part of the London 2012 Festival, the finale of the Cultural Olympiad.
Everyone is invited to join in and make dance part of their lives in 2012 and beyond.
