With free demonstrations and dance workshops for all, plus a spread of culinary delights from around the world, budding Alesha Dixons will be bursting to strut their stuff.


The event will kick off on March 27, at Leigh Indoor Sports Centre, with a showcase of modern styles by Lowton Youth Dance Group, followed by a workshop for parents, children and teenagers.
Then from 1pm to 7pm dance enthusiasts will be invited to join in free classes designed for all abilities.
The fun will continue with Dance Around the World, a series of free sessions and demonstrations from across the globe, including India, Turkey, Cuba, England, Spain, Brazil, North America and Europe.


Judith Kershaw, Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust's Active Living Co-ordinator, said: "As part of this year's Dance Fusion we want to demonstrate different cultural dances from around the world.
"We have demonstrations of dances from all over for people to enjoy and take part in. It's a great way to see professionals at work and it all takes place in a very relaxed, informal atmosphere.
"The sessions are ideal for beginners and families, perfect for anyone who doesn't dance regularly. Dance has great health benefits and it's a great way of socialising, so put on your dancing shoes and join in the fun.
"If we get enough interest we hope to continue these sessions beyond the festival."


Following on from Dance Around The World, the traditional Dance Fusion showcase will take place on Saturday April 26, at Lowton Civic Hall.
This event features 17 talented groups from across the borough who all share the same passion for dance.
A spokesperson said: "In the previous two years this event has sold out so booking early is essential."
