Big Dance is back. Following Big Dance 2012, the UK's biggest ever celebration of dance, where over 3,500 events took place, Big Dance will return this May.

Big Dance is for anyone who dances, wants to dance or wants to watch dance.

Big Dance Pledge, 17th- 20th May

The Big Dance pledge involves a dance routine available on the Big Dance web page that you can sign up to. Simply use the choreography to create your own performance along with your friends, family, classmates or even your colleagues.

The routine is three minutes long, choreographed by the English National Ballet Company and anyone can get involved regardless of age, ability and experience. Sign up to get access to all the choreography videos as well as the soundtrack and some really helpful factsheets. It’s completely free!

You can perform your dance during the Pledge Performance Weekend which is from the 17th of May to the 20th or you can perform it at any event you have planned on a convenient date. Let Big Dance know you have performed your pledge to download the Pledge certificate. The idea is to just get involved. Whatever your age, experience or preferred style.

You can help to keep Big Dance running in future years by pledging to raise sponsorship for your group or donating by your mobile phone during your rehearsals or performance. Make the pledge and get dancing.
