Miriams stamping ground experience....

It was Eastwood Family Funday on Saturday 10^th July which was programmed by myself as part of Stamping Ground, Dance4’s annual festival programme of free dance performances and workshops for young people and their families. It was a lovely scorching day and the crowds flocked out for the Funday. We had a huge number of audiences and workshop participants and through their feedback it seemed like they really enjoyed themselves! We had energetic Asian dance performed by Asian Flava, a dance company from the West Midlands, some contemporary and old skool jazz fusion from Clout Youth Dance Company as well as a fun and vibrant workshop. We also had a solo street dance performance and workshop performed and led by Kieran Taylor and finally we had a solo performance by Ben Eagles which was influenced by Gene Kelly. It was a brilliant day and I loved planning it!

I am in the office today to go through the post show events and reminiscing on a wonderful day where dance was presented in a lovely park with an sensational buzz and atmosphere. It was great and I would like to thank Linzi Gibbs, Assistant Producer Dance4 and all of the Dance4 office for their help and support. Thank you :)
