The team behind Leap Dance Festival are back with plans to bring the city region to life in April and May 2025 with the return of the much loved event.
2024 saw Leap return to theatres, venues and public spaces across Liverpool City Centre with 781 performers taking part in 165 individual performances across 15 days. The festival was enjoyed by over 37,000 people who watched the live performances, as well as a series of commissioned films, available to enjoy remotely.
For 2025, the team are aiming to spread activity across Liverpool City Region continuing to focus on youth, communities and professional artists from our local area whilst bringing the best artists and companies from across North West England to perform in the city.
Paul Doyle, Director of Leap Dance Festival said “We are super proud of what we achieved in 2024 and are committed to ensuring dance has a place in the cultural calendar of our region. We want to deliver a festival for the people of Liverpool City Region that is ambitious, dynamic and celebrates our part of the world in a unique manner. What we can achieve next year relies heavily on the support of our followers and their generous donations.”
Leap Dance Festival’s Crowdfunder runs until 7th November 2024 and there are great rewards available, including pre-sale ticket deals.
