This event follows up a successful pilot across London running over the last two years within the London Youth Games Dance event, and has led to the development of this unique event open to all disabled children and young people in London

“It is great to build partnerships with organisations such as Alexandra Palace and London Youth Games and be able to offer new opportunities to disabled children in London to be active. I’m really excited to see even more dancers gather to compete and show that we can all dance."
