Big Dance 2012 – Barrow in Furness
Welcome to Big Dance 2012 North West Link Up Project. What we are trying to do has never been attempted before so it will certainly be really exciting and lots of fun!
There are a few things you should know now because the Big Dance Link Up Project is definitely a commitment and you will be letting people down if, having started, you are unable to complete the project. You should be aware of the following:-
You will need to work with your lead artist Amanda J. Mortlock (DARE DANCE) in Barrow in Furness to learn the choreography and be available at the following times for performances.
DATE TIME
Sunday 17th June 10.00-12.00 Walney Fun Run
Wednesday 20th June 10.00-6.00 Bitts Park, Carlisle (Torch Relay)
Sunday 15th July 10.00-6.00 Liverpool (NW Link Up project)
- You will need to pay £2.00 for each session with your lead dance artist. You will also need to pay £15.00 for your costume for the final performances. (£25 per person).
- You will need to be able to perform in Walney Fun Run on Sunday 17th June. This will be our first rehearsal as a full group of 50 people and will give us a stepping stone to the performance of 250 in Carlisle.
- You will need to be able to perform in Carlisle (Bitts Park) on Wednesday 20th June ahead of the Olympic Torch which arrives at 6.50pm. Your full group rehearsal with all 250 participants from across Cumbria will take place in Carlisle between 1.00-3.00pm and performance time will be between 4.00 & 5.00pm. on the same day. We are fund-raising to pay the costs of a coach to travel to Carlisle.
- You will need to be able to perform in Liverpool on Sunday 15th July. Coaches will be provided to transport all 250 participants from Cumbria to Liverpool; we anticipate that the cost of this transport will be met from the project budget.
