People Dancing is a three year programme that uses the inspiration of London 2012 to get as many people as possible dancing across the West Midlands through a series of large scale commissioned programmes and events.
Funded by Legacy Trust UK, Arts Council England West Midlands and Advantage West Midlands, the project includes a major public engagement and marketing campaign as well as the creation of a dynamic new digital platform for dance. People Dancing is part of the West Midlands’ Culture Programme for London 2012.
