RE:Dance

RE:Dance – The UK’s Biggest Outdoor Youth Dance Showcase

RE:Dance is Impact Dance’s flagship outdoor event, celebrating the raw, unfiltered energy of youth dance. Set against the stunning backdrop of The Scoop at London Bridge, RE:Dance is where passion, movement, and creativity take centre stage – with no tech, no lighting – just the music, the performers, and the crowd.

A Celebration of Youth, Energy, and Expression

Since its launch, RE:Dance has become a cornerstone of London’s Summer by the River Festival, growing year after year and drawing audiences of over 5,000 people. This unique platform gives young dancers (under 25) the opportunity to perform outdoors, breaking away from traditional theatre spaces and engaging new audiences in the heart of the city.

Each edition of RE:Dance features:

  • Performances from 25+ youth dance groups
  • A wide range of dance styles including Hip-Hop, Contemporary, Ballet, Commercial, Jazz, and Traditional
  • Special guest acts and audience participation
  • An electric after party with live DJs

Whether you’re a dance school, a young creative collective, or a fan of the art form, RE:Dance is about more than performance – it’s a movement to RECONNECT, REENERGISE, and REDEFINE youth dance.

Want to experience the energy of RE:Dance for yourself?

Unfortunately, RE:Dance will not be taking place in 2026. Due to changes affecting our usual performance site, we have been unable to deliver this year’s event.

We’re incredibly grateful for the continued support of our dancers, teachers and audiences, and we’re already looking ahead to RE:Dance 2027.

We can’t wait to bring the festival back and once again celebrate the incredible talent, creativity and passion within our youth dance community.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT RE:DANCE 2027 COMING SOON

Impact Dance are currently looking for a venue to partner with in order to deliver our 2027 Youth Dance Showcase. If you are interested in hosting RE:Dance or partnering with Impact Dance to support the next generation of dance talent, we’d love to start a conversation. Please contact Kim Johnson to discuss.
