Mass Dance

In honour of Dance Network Association’s (DNA) 10th anniversary and New Adventures 30th anniversary of Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake, we're thrilled to present a Mass Dance programme that promises an unforgettable year.

We’re partnering with New Adventures to bring you an extraordinary, reimagined experience of Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake as part of the Swan Lake Take Flight community engagement programme for 2025.

​DNA's Mass Dance programme is designed to increase confidence, improve physical health and enhance well-being for young people through the joy of movement. With a strong focus on physical and mental wellness, this programme offers over 2,000 young people each year the opportunity to participate in a creative dance and performance experience that goes beyond what is typically accessible in schools or community settings. It provides a supportive space for self-expression, builds essential movement skills, and nurtures a lasting sense of fun and achievement through dance.

If you want to take part in the project or looking to book your tickets as an audience member please head back to the 'What We Offer' Drop down menu bar and click on MASS DANCE 2025.
