Dance Around the WorldDance Around the World returns to Cecil Sharp House on the 25-26 October 2008!
The eighth annual Dance Around The World Festival of World Dance will take place on the week-end of 25th - 26th October 2008!
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.
Keep checking the website as we'll be updating the festival programme as we get more information.
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!
On Saturday evening, carnival comes to the festival in the sensational Latin-Afro/American night. That's in the upstairs hall while, in the downstairs hall the Balkanplus Dance Group are our hosts for a lively Balkan dance party. On Sunday evening you can join in the eclectic international barn dance upstairs or attend our new conference event downstairs where speakers and performers will take you on a fascinating collecting trip!
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.
