Together with Ludus Dance, we're proud to be staging Big Up North again this April.

Lancaster is set to be the dance capital of the North when this annual dance theatre festival comes to town.

On April 26 and 27,  there will be two nights of performance here at The Dukes that ‘Big Up’ the diverse and exciting range of high quality dance theatre talent on our very own doorstep.

The Friday will see an exciting night of fresh, original performance from emerging professional artists. These pieces may contain sensitive themes so are recommended for anyone aged 14 plus.

Community, school and youth groups take over on the Saturday with a range of eclectic, energetic dance.

Showcasing technique, raw talent, dance across all forms and dance for camera, all the pieces in Big Up North have been selected by a professional panel from Ludus Dance and The Dukes.
