As restrictions were slightly lifted in late 2020 we arranged ‘Doorstep Dancing’. Two of our freelance artists Karen Pratt and Beth Fisher created a piece of choreography to show our dancers how to make the best use of their props. They have been dancing on our ‘dancers’ doorsteps to hand out these packages.

1 Day, 1 Dance, 1000 Dancers is our en masse choreographic programme to continue the legacy of the London 2012 opening ceremonies at the London Olympic and Paralympic Games. We’ve been to DANCE RIO in the lead up to the Rio Olympics in 2016, in 2017 we marked the announced year of culture with our 'Bard to Bollywood', we commemorated 2018 with our 'The Great War Centenary’ paying homage to the 100 years since the end of World War 1, and in 2019 we celebrated all the World Cups taking place in the year from Cricket, Netball, Rugby and Football. ​ The programme encourages education and community groups of all ages and abilities from across Essex and Barking & Dagenham to participate in what will be a memorable year. If you would like to take part in our next programme please email info@dancenetworkassociation.org.uk for more information.
