Dance Proms 2012 is nearly here!

Behind every great dancer is an inspirational dance teacher

Dance Proms is a unique and exciting collaborative project between the IDTA, ISTD, RAD and the Royal Albert Hall, that celebrates the wealth of talent among the nation's young dancers and will culminate in a gala performance on Sunday 4 November, at 6.30pm, at the Royal Albert Hall.

This gala performance will feature a diverse variety of acts to celebrate the dedication of the nation's dance teachers and to showcase their students' abilities, giving an amazing opportunity to young dancers to perform at one of the nation's most iconic venues.

Dance Proms was launched last year to find the UK and Ireland’s most talented dance students – in all dance genres, from ballet to ballroom, salsa to street dance and jive to jazz dance – and offer them a unique opportunity to perform on stage at one of the world’s most prestigious venues. It is supported by dozens of top names from the dance world – Dance Proms patrons include Anton Du Beke & Erin Boag, Darren Bennett & Lilia Kopylova, Matt Flint, Chris Hollins, Len Goodman, Wayne Sleep OBE and the RAD’s President Darcey Bussell CBE.

This year’s 450 students will go on to perform alongside guest appearances from Strictly Come Dancing’s Darren Bennett & Lilia Kopylova, and Top Hat’s Tom Chambers & Summer Strallen. Dance Proms 2012 will be hosted by TV presenter Chris Hollins.
