Blackpool’s dance heritage dates back to the late 1800’s and with two of the most spectacular dance venues in the world, The Empress and The Tower Ballroom, the world’s longest running ice dance show at Pleasure Beach Arena, and over 60 dance related events and competitions throughout the year, nowhere else can stake its claim as the nation’s dance capital.
Dance Marathon Week (5-11th July) will provide the opportunity from 12 noon daily to dance where the sky meets the sea, outdoors in the sunshine with the backdrop of the world-famous Blackpool Tower. There will be live shows, Strictly workshops with Flavia Cacace, street dance battles and a Salsa party!
On Friday 11th July we will be attempting to break the Largest Disco Dance world record and everyone is welcome to the Comedy Carpet at 2pm, where Lionel Vinyl will host the greatest disco party ever! There will also be silent discos on the promenade daily throughout that week.
