Fresh
Youth dance groups from every corner of Yorkshire, with members aged between 11 and 19, will perform live or show their screen dance.
You can expect high quality dance routines showcasing styles from contemporary to street dance to kathak (and everything in between).
During the day all youth groups performing come together for FRESH workshops to rehearse a group routine which they will perform on the night in a grand finale.
Yorkshire Dance is a regional charity which works through dance to create happiness, health, connection and change. FRESH 2026 is a U.Dance regional event. One group selected at FRESH 2026 will go on to perform at One Dance UK’s National U.Dance Festival 2026.
