Ageless Welcome event and The Big Communal Boogie | Yorkshire Dance
Join us for a warm Ageless welcome and introduction to the festival. Meet some of our guest artists and speakers and hear more about what to expect across the 2-day festival programme.
Introductions will be followed by our big communal boogie, co-led by some of the Ageless artists and Yorkshire Dance team. You will be welcomed onto the dance floor to throw some shapes to a playlist of selected tracks, handpicked by guest artists. Think Desert Island Discs meets school disco and you’re on the right track!
