Dance - for free - for the next two months!

Maybe you're looking to try something new, perhaps you're a dancer affected by the recession's toll on your spending money or saw how big street dance was on Britain's Got Talent, whatever your reasons are, you're low on cash, you like dance and you'll be looking for something to do that doesn't cost a penny.

Randomly spaced though they are, the TooMuchFlavour calendar has a line up of dance and dance related events in the diary for the remainder of July and August.

Those that have two cells to rub together (most of you, I hope) will realise some of these are taster classes and you will have to pay for classes from then on, but why shouldn't you go ahead and sample some of the finest dance flavour London has to offer?

So let's share the free love! If you have a Google account you can click the logo next to the info to add it to your Google Calendar.

July 23rd
Yo Fair - For 14-19 year olds in and around Islington at King's Place who are interested in creative arts. There will be a CV clinic, dance classes, music production workshops and guests like Flawless making an appearance. Check here for more info


The Dare2Dance workshop at the Southbank Centre is a sneak preview of what to expect over the Dare2Dance weekend on the 25th.

July 25th
Dare2Dance (the actual event) is free to come along and watch at the Southbank Centre. Check out the battles and see who will win the opportunity to be trained by top dancers.

July 26th
Pineapple Open Day is the annual day at the Covent Garden studios when every class is free for one day. This year they're celebrating their 30th birthday! Just turn up early to register - it will be busy!

August 13th
Ujam Staines. All you have to do it hit up the high street of Ali G's stomping ground for this event, aaaaiight!!?

17th August
I Love Dance - not just one day, but a whole week of dance thanks to East London Dance. Line up is a bit scarce at the moment, but if it's over a week (can't get enough of just how long it'll be!) I doubt the teachers will be a joke!

30th August
Dance Mob: With all these free workshops, it's time to put in some effort and do a performance. Learn the Dance Mob routine then descend upon the Southbank Centre in a massive dance mob. You can learn the routine by hitting up the Southbank Centre's website or going there throughout August (other info is TBA)


Enjoy checking these events out! When we say dance is free, we don't just mean free = no price, but free to grow and reach new people!

For other (non-free) hip hop dance-related events, see what's on at the TooMuchFlavour calendar page!
