Girls in Dance Festival

On 28th July 2025 we will hold the first ever Girls in Dance Festival, an event held in Birmingham for girls aged 13-18 years who enjoy dancing to gain insight into the dance industry, discover resources, and explore initiatives that empower girls and young dancers in their professional and personal development.

Curated and organised by the charity AWA DANCE, this will be a unique in person event that aims to celebrate girls’ futures with workshops, interactive stalls, Q&A’s and plenty of role models from leading organisations and individuals to inspire the next generation of girls in dance. This festival will put special emphasis in representation and role models, celebrating global majority artists.

Sponsorship Package Girls In Dance Festival

Before I felt very unconfident and some level of discomfort being asked or being presented with the idea of leading, or being put on the spot and sharing. Now, even after these few days I feel much happier and willing to take on a wide range of events!

I feel more comfortable with the word leader and seeing myself as this. It's not a term I would have related to previously, but this programme has helped me see leadership from a wider perspective and understand that there are many ways and forms of being a leader.

The insight and wisdom every session and speaker brought was invaluable. It was amazing to hear from such powerful and experienced speakers driven to change societal infrastructures for the better of women - and everyone!
