Harlequin sponsored the inaugural Dance Proms

British Harlequin was a sponsor of the first ever Dance Proms when the UK’s rising stars recently performed at the Royal Albert Hall. Twenty-four dance acts from around the UK danced on a Harlequin  floor at this major new national dance festival launched earlier in the year to find the UK’s most talented dance students.

“With more than 450 young dancers taking to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall, it was an evening to remember with a finale that brought the packed Hall to their feet for a standing ovation.
The young dancers showcased a huge range of dance styles and cultural influences – from classic ballroom and beautiful ballet to energetic tap, Kathak, Spanish and thought-provoking contemporary dance  Many respected guests from the world of dance were in attendance including Dame Beryl Grey DBE, Lady Deborah MacMillan, Bonnie Langford, Baroness Hooper, Steven McRae, Karen Hardy, Mark Summers, Sir Peter Wright, Kevin O'Hare, Jack Petchey CBE, Anthony Van Laast and Chris Hollins.”
