Burnley College Dance Students at world’s largest Dance Festival

Dance and Performing Arts Students from Burnley College enjoyed a trip to to London to experience the world’s biggest dance event.

The group of 15 Students on Level 3 Dance courses attended the event.

Some students were lucky enough to meet BBC Strictly Come Dancing star Neil Jones who was happy to chat with the students and pose for a quick picture with them.

Move It is an annual celebration of dance which combines incredible performances by professional choreographers, the chance to meet industry experts and take part in classes with some of the highest calibre tutors in the country during the 3 day festival.

The show was also the perfect time to network with fellow dance Students from across the country.

Headliners this year included the English National Ballet, The Greatest Dancer finalists Dark Angels and Cbeebies presenter Nigel Clarke who has performed as part of Stomp and at the Royal Variety Show.
