Thank you to everyone who attended Dance Barnet!
The sparkling Dance Barnet Finals - the second pan‑disability, Strictly-inspired dance competition in partnership with Step Change Studios - took place recently at the Pentland Theatre, artsdepot in North Finchley.
The event followed an auditions process involving almost 100 participants, ranging from children to older adults. From these, ten outstanding finalists aged 12 to 97 were selected to perform on the night.
These finalists lit up the stage with their talent, creativity, and passion, showcasing what Dance Barnet is all about: celebrating accessible dance and encouraging more disabled people and those with long‑term health conditions to get active and express themselves through movement.
