We invite you to join us for The ‘Brewery Arts Schools Dance Platform’ taking place across 16th-19th March 2026. The platform returns for another fantastic event, celebrating the achievements of both pupils and teachers in creative dance and performance!

Our Schools Dance Platform is a non-competitive and inclusive celebration of dance across South Lakeland, featuring pieces created by local Primary, Secondary and SEN schools, as well as our own Brewery Youth Dance groups. This event is registered as a U.Dance First event.

This year’s Schools Dance Platform is the 20th event of its kind! The four-day festival will include the celebration of ‘Schools Dance Platform 20’ as part of each show.
