Wigan dance festival set to take place this month
Wigan borough’s third annual dance festival is set to take place on 26 April, organised by Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust in partnership with the Wigan and Leigh Dance Network.
Two different performances showcasing the area’s best talent will take place starting with a matinee performance at 3.30pm and an evening performance at 7.00pm.
Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust arts development officer Vicky Fletcher said: “The dance scene in the borough is thriving. Some of the talent here is as good as anywhere in the country and we have one of the most active networks of dancers in the North West.
“The Wigan and Leigh Dance Network is crucial to the success of the festival. Their enthusiasm and expertise has helped to develop and improve the festival each year and we are very thankful for their input. They help to ensure that Dance Fusion is a superb event and everyone who comes along is guaranteed a great time. The showcase features a range of dance styles and lots of action that we hope will inspire newcomers to the glorious world of dance.”
The 2008 Dance Fusion line up includes: Abraham Guest High School; Step by Step Dance; Zenith School of Dance; Lowton Youth Dance; Wigan and Leigh Youth Dance Company; Winstanley College; Dynamite Dancers; Africano Sound; Seven Stars Sword and Step Dancers; Fred Longworth High School; Lowton High School; and L & L Super Stars.
