What happens on the night of the Dance Festival

TICKET ALLOCATION:

Ticket information

Tickets: The Neeld Hall seating accommodates an audience of 216 people per night, which means each family will be allocated tickets for 1 or 2 adults only. As in previous years, each school will receive tickets based on a 1.5 allocation per child.

This system ensures that at least one parent per child will have the opportunity to watch the performance, with the possibility of two tickets in some cases. While we’d love to offer two tickets per child, we hope you understand that due to space limitations at the venue, this isn’t always possible.

Previous years themes have included:

2017 – Movie Nights / 2018 – Dance Through The Ages / 2019 – West end Musicals / 2020 – The Olympics / 2021 – “Virtual” covid year free style / 2022 – Top Of The Pops / 2023 – Back to the 90s / 2024 – Around the world / 2025 – “Lights, Camera, Dance! / 2026 – “Its in the game”
