Visible Dancin’ was a unique outdoor spectacle of dance expressions, reflecting and celebrating the rich mix of Birmingham’s street life. It marked the grand finale of (in)visible dancin’ – a cycle of performances that literally transformed city life into a dance performance for two weeks during IDFB. Guest blogger and Festival Youth Ambassador Ruth Sheaves shares her experience and photos of the event:
Saw a huge crowd gathering for the performance in the centre of town today!
There were massive cheers from the crowd as the dancing started in High Street.
What an amazing performance! IDFB got loads of other dance groups together to perform. I saw belly dancers, street dancers, ballroom, Latin and Bhangra dancers performing.
Today’s performance was a brilliant success, and I hope to see another one soon!
Thanks to Ruth for these great pics! She will be back next week with her shots from (in)visible dancin’ – don’t miss it!
