Let’s Dance! Call For Participants In New Boy Blue Commission

Would you like to be part of an exciting new dance commission from Boy Blue, held under the glow of a 10 storey sculpture made of illuminated balloons? Well, it couldn’t be easier!

We’re looking for people of all ages, backgrounds, experience and abilities to come together in a large-scale dance performance, taking place on Saturday 18 July (once at 17:00 and again at 21:00) as part of Mini Burble‘s appearance at MediaCityUK, Salford.

No experience is necessary; all we ask is that you attend a few weekend rehearsals in the run-up to the performance.
