Arts & Culture Podcasts

A 30th Anniversary Celebration of Why People Dance. In a delightful synergy of spoken and written storytelling, Dancefest draws together a treasury of uplifting, life-affirming testimonies, exploring the reasons why people dance. The five podcasts, produced by Sara Conkey (BBC Radio Producer) and accompanying written stories, form part of Dancefest‘s 30th anniversary celebrations (1990-2020) and include people who have been part of that history; as participant, artist, audience, friend. Dancefest was, and still is, a national pioneer of community dance, originally through the animateur movement and now in its status as an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. These stories form part of Dancefest‘s legacy and demonstrate its place in the national story of community dance.
