SAVE THE DATES 5-13 JULY 2008

BIG DANCE IS BACK!

Big Dance is a campaign to promote London through dance in all its forms. Big Dance celebrates the diversity, accessibility and the fun of dance by creating unusual events in extraordinary places. The invitation is for everyone to get involved. The campaign will take place every two years in the run up to the Olympics: 2008, 2010 and 2012.

Big Dance is a week long celebration of dance across London which will showcase the spectacular range of dance events that happen in the capital throughout the year!

The week will be packed with dance events for everyone with everything from classes, workshops, performances and even exhibitions. All set in unsual venues including clubs, cinemas and even the streets!
