Channel the motion of the ocean in this dance extravaganza at the National Maritime Museum.
Bringing together local and international performers, this dynamic festival celebrates the power of movement. Dive (or jive) into dance workshops and discover how the flow of the ocean connects us through craft sessions and games.
The festival takes place in Ocean Court, our redesigned space that celebrates the importance of our blue planet. Come and have a boogie on our new Ocean Map too, a giant floor map that highlights our watery world.
Get ready to move and groove and slide and glide during this day of culture, creativity and community.
