the event for schools & colleges that is taking the country by storm!

Dance Live! is an exciting event for schools and colleges brought to you by The Guildhall Trust.

With a focus on raising aspirations, strengthening health and wellbeing and developing skills for creative career choices, Dance Live! also delivers a range of supportive workshop opportunities for schools.

Embracing an ever-evolving digital world and how this is changing the face of modern performance, Dance Live! sees those in KS2-4 and Further Education compete with choreographed routines to the backdrop of a giant digital screen with pupils showcasing a range of skills from dance, performance and off-stage technical skills to creative design.

Dance Live! encompasses much more than the spectacle of performers alone. Dance Live! stands as a sanctuary, a steadfast point of stability for our schools’ young people. It has provided a secure haven and a mooring, facilitating their continuous engagement with education, collaborative artistic endeavours, newfound skills acquisition, and the nurturing of social bonds. In essence, it has been a propeller of mental well-being and a cultivator of resilience.
