GO Dance in Newcastle |
|
|
|
 |
Although dance is somewhat of a minority cultural activity,
it still has an important part to play in the landscape
of Newcastle's entertainments. In 2004, Newcastle and the surrounding areas played host to a variety of dance productions, from the flailing feet of Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance, to the elegance of the Ballet Spectacular, to the vibrancy of American contemporary dance from Bill T. Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Company. Although there are no venues dedicated exclusively to dance, many venues in and around the city include dance as part of their programme of productions, so do take advantage of our guide to see what’s on at the moment. The Theatre Royal [map] in the heart of the city centre is probably your best bet for catching dance in Newcastle, as the venue is also a member of The Dance Consortium, a UK initiative that aims to present a world-class international dance programme. In addition, their eclectic mix of entertainments can easily accommodate professional dance productions and regularly does. As well as professional company shows, some local venues also host performances by the local dance schools. You’re likely to catch these at the People’s Theatre [map] in Heaton, Customs House [map] in South Shields and Whitley Bay Playhouse [map]. If you fancy putting on your own dancing shoes for a highland fling or a fandango, then why not get to one of the dance schools in your area.
