Try out hip hop dance with these free taster sessions led by choreographers from Boy Blue – one of the UK’s most exciting dance companies
We’re running free taster sessions on Saturday 2 September and Sunday 3 September in different locations around Manchester and Salford for anyone interested in giving hip hop dance a go.
If you live in Greater Manchester, are aged 16 and over, and want to meet new people while learning a new skill, just book a ticket to reserve your spot.
The sessions are open to all, whatever your fitness or movement level – no professional dance experience is required, you just need to be up for having a go. We’re especially interested in hearing from people who’ve not been involved with Manchester International Festival or Factory International before.
It’s completely free to come along. Just wear something comfortable and bring some water too. Each session will last for around 90 minutes, and we’ll provide some snacks to boost your energy. We can also help with travel costs, please email yatie.aziz@factoryinternational.org to find out more.
The taster sessions are led by choreographers from dance company Boy Blue, who are working on Free Your Mind – our huge opening show for Aviva Studios, inspired by the iconic sci-fi film The Matrix.
