About dance energy
Dance Energy is a dance platform connecting the community with leading dance industry professionals. An integrated dance programme, providing children and young people, 7- 19 years old (up to 25 with LLDD) from primary, and secondary schools, and community groups with the opportunity to work on a dance piece in a style of their choice.
Young people showcase their talent and perform/compete in a full-stage production in front of an audience, including family and friends, on the prestigious Cadogan Hall stage. Supported by guest appearances and judges from our illustrious dance industry. All young people have a chance to win exclusive prizes, scholarships, masterclasses, tickets to see dance shows, and much more!
The program welcomes young people from a variety of dance backgrounds with the ability to either build on previous dance foundations or explore new opportunities for creative expression.
