Wigan Borough Dance Festival

Current Projects

Every March, we raise the energy across the borough. The Wigan Borough Dance Festival is Spirix’s flagship annual event, bringing schools, communities and professional artists together to celebrate dance in all its forms.

From first-time movers to experienced performers, everyone has a place on our stage. This is about inclusion, creativity and community pride.

The Wigan Borough Dance Festival is hosted at The Edge, supported by Wigan Council, funded by Arts Council England and proudly sponsored by Edge Hill University. This is more than a festival. It is a shared moment of borough-wide pride.

Festival highlights:

Performances from primary, secondary and SEND schools

Spirix Youth Dance companies and community groups

Inclusive, co-created choreography

Artist residencies and in-school workshops

Guest performances and professional showcases

Opportunities to perform in local venues and theatres

Wanna Work Together?

Lets Collab

Spirix projects are rooted in real relationships. If you are a school, community group, artist or funder and want to get involved, we would love to talk.

Let’s build something bold, together.
