COUNTING DOWN TO 30 JANUARY!
From 30 January to 2 February dance promoters from all over the world will descend upon Liverpool in search of the new trends and ideas in British dance. 36 of the UK’s most exciting dance companies will perform across Liverpool’s major arts venues, with new and emerging work featuring alongside some of the more established and well known companies.
