Dance Around The World is a community festival which celebrates traditional dance cultures from all parts of the world. In two explosively exciting and energetic days of dance, performers and teachers provide a non-stop programme of extraordinary variety from 10.00am to 11.00pm each day.
Visitors to the event will be able to watch and try for themselves traditional dance forms from all over the world. They will be able 
to choose from styles as varied as Flamenco, Indian, Hip-Hop, South East European, Tango and much, much more!
The details of the 2009 programme have not yet been decided. However, you can be sure that there will be exciting activities in both the upstairs and downstairs areas. Often there is an informal jam session in the bar. On one of the evenings the Latin-American Spectacular will fill the big upstairs hall. There will be a variety of dancing both nights with plenty of opportunity to join in -- and it is all included for one low price for the full day. 
Dance Around The World is for everyone - whether you're young or old, an experienced dancer or a novice. If you've ever danced, wanted to dance or wondered why people dance then this festival is for you.
Dance Around The World is an entirely voluntary event. All the performers, teachers and organisers donate their services free. We do not have a budget to bring groups from overseas, so in general all the groups come from the greater London area. It is our policy to set entrance prices at the most moderate rates possible. .
