Big Dance commissions acclaimed choreographers to create works that can be learnt by anyone in the world, through online tutorials and community workshops. Big Dance engages thousands of people with one unifying choreographic piece, performed in some of the most iconic places in the world.
In April 2018 we hosted free workshops to learn the Big Dance.
The easiest way to learn the Big Dance is by attending a free workshop. Please follow the links to find workshops in your state/territory:

If you can't attend a workshop, you can learn the Big Dance by following our online tutorials and still book in to attend your local event. Alternatively, you could host your own Big Dance event!
