Monday 17 May 2010
Buxton Opera House
In 2009 the first county-wide youth dance platform for Derbyshire was held at The Assembly Rooms in Derby. This pilot event was a major success, involving over 400 young people from 27 dance groups from Derby City and Derbyshire performing to over 600 audience members.
This year Déda is proud to be presenting Interface 10, the county youth dance platform at the beautiful and historic Buxton Opera House. This provides a fantastic opportunity for young people to perform in a professional venue in the heart of Derbyshire.
