We're delighted to announce the full line-up for the 2021 Yorkshire Schools Dance Festival.
1200 children and young people from 55 schools, colleges and community groups across the Yorkshire region will perform across the four festival days - Saturday 13th, Sunday 14th, Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st November.
As well as welcoming back many groups that have taken part before, we're delighted that 2021 will see nine groups new to the event take part: Camblesforth Community Primary Academy, Derwent Dance Company, Hanson School, Carlton Keighley Academy, Queen Ethelburga's Collegiate, Queen Mary's School, Leeds City College, Clapgate Primary School and Union of Dance Youth; welcome to the YSDF family!
There'll be two smaller Festivals on each day - 12pm and 5.30pm. This means we'll be able to make sure that social distancing is in place alongside other Covid risk management measures to make the event as safe and enjoyable as possible for everyone.
YSDF21 is sponsored by Yorkshire Education Recruitment. Their continued support has enabled us to extend the reach of the event still further. Read more about their sponsorship.
Each Festival will see a mix of primary schools, secondary schools, colleges and community dance company performances. Groups will create a dance piece in response to our 2021 theme, ‘The Power of Together’. The theme forms part of our support of the Rugby League World Cup 2021 tournament.
RLWC2021 will be happening in October/November 2022. YSDF21 will be a fitting pre-event to celebrate the theme of unification and connection thorough children and young people's dance. We welcome all ages and abilities and look forward to seeing a range of performance styles.
Tickets available through the Festival website.
