Dance Live! Invites schools and colleges to create a 7 minute routine to be performed in front of a giant LED screen. Performances interact with the screen and are shown to friends and family before being judged by a panel of professional artists in the creative industries.
The winning schools from each heat then participate in our National Finals events at Portsmouth Guildhall in April of each year. Schools are supported with the creation of their screen and performance content with FREE workshops and digital check in sessions with the Dance Live! Team throughout the school year.
The event combines dance, technology, and creative design, offering students the chance to develop their performance and technical skills in a professional setting.
Dance Live! is driven by 3 guiding pillars:
Strengthening School Communities
Dance Live! fosters a sense of community and collaboration among schools, students, teachers, and families, by providing a platform for creative expression and enhancing the reputation of participating schools.
raising aspirations
Dance Live! empowers children and young people to push boundaries and strive for new and better ways of doing things by providing them with the platform and support structures to create big production moments.
SUPPORTING SKILLS & DEVELOPMENT
Dance Live! helps children and young people develop relevant technical and creative skills by engaging them in the creative arts sector and exposing them to the thrill of a big production.
