Exuberant hip-hop dance, a joyful sense of community and heart-thumping rhythms – join Boy Blue to celebrate their 25th anniversary as they return with their infectious company showcase.

A sea of performers floods the stage, from the youngest students to professional dancers, in this evening of energetic dance pieces showcasing taut choreography, empowering movement and irresistible musicality. Whether polished routines or politically charged pieces, you’ll be carried along by the infectious energy, vitality and wit.

With an eclectic score featuring hip-hop bangers, Mikey J’s music and well-known favourites, this is a Boy Blue-infused variety show in the best possible way.

Embodying Boy Blue ‘at its warmest and most inclusive’ (The Independent), this family-friendly evening is always an audience favourite, celebrating the company as pioneers of hip-hop dance, as well as their mission to ‘Educate, Enlighten, Entertain’.
