Big Dance Pledge: Dancing with the world
Big Dance Pledge 20 May: worldwide performance day
The Big Dance Pledge is an opportunity to learn a 3-minute Pledge dance created by world renown choreographer Akram Khan set to music by Nitan Sawhney.
Akram Khan has created the choreography and the free set of resources for you to get involved in 2016, along with specially composed music track by Nitin Sawhney. Using the themes of ‘overcoming adversity’ and ‘achievement’ Akram is encouraging groups to tell their own stories through the choreography and come together to share their experiences in performance.
