It's Big Dance Week


The Big Dance Bus rolled into Covent Garden Piazza today - the next stop on the tour that is getting everyone dancing this summer. And as show host, Hakeem Onibudo told the lunch time crowds "without Harlequin providing the dance floor we would be dancing on concrete."

By 10 o'clock the Harlequin Liberty sprung floor was laid on the Piazza and the Harlequin Cascade dance surface taped in place as preparations for today's show proceeded back stage. 

After a warm up for members of the audience, the Big Dance Bus resident company took to the stage in a routine choreographed by Fleur Davison and Natasha Khamjani.
