Summer Dance Platform
10 - 11 July 2026

This year’s Summer Dance Platform celebrates the talent and dedication of 18 regional groups who have worked with us throughout the academic year.
As part of our commitment to creating performance opportunities and inspiring young people to achieve their potential, participating groups will present their work to audiences of up to 230 guests at the Stanley & Audrey Burton Theatre. Across two evenings, dancers and soloists involved in our company activity throughout the year will take to the stage, showcasing the creativity, skill, and hard work they have developed through their engagement with the programme.
The event is a celebration of the passion, talent, and artistic achievements of these committed young dancers.
