Dance fever is set to strike the North West this summer as Merseyside Dance Initiative announces Big Dance in the region, to take place from May 18 to September 9, with a particular focus in Big Dance week from July 7-15.
Big Dance is the UK's biggest ever celebration of dance and one of the highlights of London 2012 Festival, the culmination of the Cultural Olympiad. Big Dance 2012 will feature work on television, in the streets, in theatres and schools and right into the heart of communities all over the country.
In the North West, MDI is working with Dance Initiative Greater Manchester, Ludus Dance (Lancashire) and Dance Cumbria to deliver dance events throughout the season with a flagship project that links up all the boroughs of the region and brings together over 1275 participants in a mass performance at Chavasse Park in Liverpool One on July 15.
