All of the students involved in the performance are part of Step into Dance, a Royal Academy of Dance programme in partnership with the Jack Petchey Foundation, which celebrates 15 years of widening access to dance this year. The dancers have been preparing all year for the chance to mark this anniversary in style, after a forced break from performances due to the pandemic.
Step Live Festival takes place on Tuesday 12 July at Cadogan Hall. There will be two performances, one at 14:00 and one at 19:30. Each show will feature different schools from the Step into Dance programme.
