Dance festival for Llanelli coastal park
Belly dancing, hip hop, geriatric jiving and every dance step in between waltzes into Llanelli’s Millennium Coastal Park this summer.
The free to public D10 Dance Festival is planned on Saturday July 17 on the Festival Fields site with a riot of dance on 24 platforms.
More than 500 professional dancers and groups will sashay into the park spilling onto the promenade and be cha-cha-cha-ing all the way to the Discovery Centre.
Those taking part are aged from two. The Little Stars to 92, the Mature Movers, in an extravaganza of dance. Jukebox Juniors, the Sky 1 dance finalists, India Dance Wales and a host of others including Baubo Belly Dance Company will be entertaining crowds throughout the day
D10 is an open access event open from noon until 10:00pm to passers by, dance fanatics or visitors alike. Performance slots are available between 12–6pm and open to any individual, school, group, dance school or troop who practice or reside in Carmarthenshire or Pembrokeshire.
Organisers Arts Care Gofal Celf, are a leading Community Arts Organisation in West Wales and The Dance Development Organisation for Carmarthenshire & Pembrokeshire.
ACGC dance co-ordinator for Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, Laura Harvey, said: “With this new event we aim to introduce new audiences to dance through fun, interaction, participation, laughter and eye catching performances and workshops.
“With a diverse programme of open dance workshops within our large workshop marquee between 12:30 and 6:00pm we aim to develop a sense of what community dance means to so many people.”
“D10 will fill the Festival Fields with original dance performances, showcases, workshops, site specific works, independent dance companies, schools, organisation stands, dance activities and more twists and turns than a competition rhumba.
“The day will be a celebration of all the hard work of teachers, support workers, artists, choreographers, teachers, sports organisations, funders and most importantly the participants who have been involved with dance in someway over the past 12 months.
County executive board member for leisure services Clive Scourfield said: “The MCP has already been described as the best open air gym in the UK. This new and promising annual event will ensure it dances right to the top.
“Dance is the most accessible, social and one of the simplest yet enjoyable forms of exercise which in turn promotes health so we are delighted to be supporting D10.”
