Claire Thompson, City Arts Development Officer and Festival founder said ‘We are so pleased to be back in the best place for our annual dance festival launch. Westgate Oxford is a natural pairing as it can safely accommodate large audiences giving everyone a fabulous view of the dance stage.

Whether people make a date to come or happen upon it by accident there will be something to admire and to enjoy.’

Brendan Hattam, Centre Director at Westgate Oxford, commented “We are delighted to kickstart the Dancin’ Oxford annual festival this year, for the first time since the pandemic. The dance festival is a great way to showcase local and international talent. We are confident the event will be a success and are looking forward to Leiden Square being filled with fantastic dance performances.”
