FEET FIRST 21st May 2025 (Part Two)

Feet First is an all-day dance festival event, organised by Move More for primary schools across Cheltenham and Tewkesbury. Children are invited to come and showcase their dance routine under the spectacular show lights at the prestigious Cheltenham Town Hall. This academic year we have a choice of two dates for schools to submit their preference (if any). The day will start with a live rehearsal run through for each school, followed by a practice walk through introduction parade that will open the event. Children will be split into one of two acts and get to watch the other half of the performance when not participating.

Tickets for the event will be sold through Cheltenham Town Hall Box office and a link will be sent out to schools, to forward on to parents so that they can come and watch the whole performance in the afternoon.

Dates: Wednesday 26th March 2025 or Wednesday 21st May 2025.

Schools can submit up to TWO dance groups (for example a mixed age dance club AND a special whole year group performance). No more than 90 children per school.

Dance preparation notes:

• Songs / performances must not exceed 3 minutes where possible.
• Dances will be performed in an arena setting meaning that the audience seating will be located on ALL sides of the dancefloor area, so we recommend avoiding a ‘front-facing’ dance routine.
• Floor space for performances is approximately 17m Long by 6.5m wide.
• Please make sure that the music is less than 3 minutes long where possible.

Please complete the event registration form below so that we can start the next phase of planning and preparation. The deadline for registration is 10th November 2024. 

After this deadline closes we will send you a dance details form which will need to be completed and returned to Move More before 10th January 2025. This information is crucial for us to be able to plan the event across 2 days and go on to produce a programme and running order of all the different performances and songs.
