I can’t wait to see the next 10 years of growth and to see the new generation of performers, dance artists, producers, event managers, film makers, presenters & poets flourish in Wigan because of our work. Thanks to @WiganCouncil @FireWithinWigan for trusting my vision!

This weekend felt like the culmination of 10 years work in Wigan. When I was 20 I got my first real teaching job delivering dance clubs in some of Wigan’s most disadvantaged communities and found a love of community dance - in particular working with teenage girls …

What @WigLeDance & @wigandancefest shows is that hyper local, grass roots arts organisations can make a big impact when supported in the right way. We know our communities, schools and our young people and that is important. I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved

[Amy Burdon @AmyBurdon]

5 years ago @WigLeDance started producing @wigandancefest in various venues including @WiganYouthZone and Robin Park sports hall. Every year the event has grown and even in the pandemic we ran a digital event with 800 young people making dance films.

[Amy Burdon @AmyBurdon]

Really proud of what WN Dance has become over the last year. A unique and relevant progression route for young people in Wigan. Paid industry experience mentored and co-created with professional dancers. Excited to see what’s next … @hawkinsjosh @WiganCouncil @ace_thenorth

Epic footage of our first in person mass performance project since before the pandemic. We absolutely loved working with all of the dancers for 8 weeks of rehearsals, thinking about climate change and how we can all be activists 🌍 @lukejerram @ThisIsWigan_

Some fantastic images from our performance of Out of this World with @lukejerram Floating Earth.

It was really incredible to bring so many young people together to perform in such a stunning setting 🌎
