This year Salford Dance Explosion returns to The Quays theatre with a 3 day festival of dance performances from local schools, colleges, higher educational settings, as well as theatre and dance academies from across the region.

They will be showcasing a full range of genres from Ballet and Irish dance to street dance and contemporary styles.

This event has now been running since 2010 and it looks to be another exciting year, giving children and young people the opportunity to shine on stage.
