Coming up!

Even though it's only the start of 2014, we have lots of exciting things fast approaching!


On the 31st of January, we shall be holding our annual and newly named artsNK Youth Dance Programme Showcase. Taking place at the Terry O' Toole Theatre, artsNK's Youth Groups shall take to the stage to perform pieces which they have been working on. This shall include some very exciting new work from our dance companies redXco, kNacKer'd and all new male company, JumpStart. With performers ranging from 4-18 years old, there shall be a range of styles on show so there is something for everyone! Tickets are selling out extremely fast so book yours now by calling the Terry O Toole Theatre on 01522 883311. Tickets cost £3 and £2 for Children (Under 16s).



Going into February, the Dance Factor final shall be taking place at the Lincoln Performing Arts Centre on 8th. Ten crews from across NK and Lincoln shall come together, battling it out, one of them shall be crowned best dance crew of 2014. With only 4 weeks left working on pieces, the pressure is hotting up!


We shall then be holding our annual Spring Primary Dance Showcase. With two shows in one night, it's set to be hectic but fun! Local primary schools are currently working on creating dance pieces for the showcase. Based on the transition from Primary to Secondary School, the showcase is a celebration and a chance for the children to perform in front of a big audience!

Whilst all that is happening, we are also planning more for the coming months including aerial workshops and other exciting things! It's a busy time for the dance team!

Welcome back.

Welcome back to a new year with artsNK Dance! Term one kicked off this week, with all our classes starting again. This included our new vertical dance class and new Youth Dance Company, JumpStart!    

Once again, you can expect this year to be a busy one, especially for the dance team, with lots of new and exciting things happening. We shall have all our usual events to look forward to, such as our Primary Dance Festival and U.Dance platform, True Motion.

The dance team shall also be involved in a few different events this year, including the upcoming Zygote Festival. If you're sat there wondering ‘what on earth is Zygote?!’ then you need to check out the Facebook page and blog. The dance team shall be getting stuck into the action from October, where we shall be getting involved in aerial dance for the festival. If you haven't yet seen our aerial adventures with circusMASH UK, click the link here!

Alongside Zygote, there are plenty of other chances to get involved with artsNK Dance. At the end of September/beginning of October, we shall be auditioning for our Youth Dance Companies, kNacKer’d, redXco and JumpStart. Information about times and dates can be found on our Facebook page and in our latest newsletter.

With the beginning of the new academic year, comes the return of U.Dance. Applications are now open to be part of the national dance event. Lincolnshire’s contribution, True Motion, shall take place on 8th March 2014. 2014 also sees the return of Big Dance, the UK’s biggest celebration of dance, which many of you may have been involved in before. Information about Big Dance shall be released in January 2014, so keep your eyes peeled!

With all the new and exciting projects happening for the dance team, there shall be plenty of opportunities to get involved. To find out more about what's going on in the next couple of months, read our latest newsletter here. It has information about upcoming dance opportunities, events, all our dance class leaflets, information about our new schools programme InspireDance and much more!
