This new London festival aims high in its dedicated dance programme. By teaming up with leading venue Sadler's Wells, it has put together an evening of short performances, which between them cover an ambitious number of stylistic bases and showcase some of the art form's biggest names.

As the audience sits in the shadow of the magnificent Tower Of London they can see modern dance from Richard Alston's company and an extract from Insane In The Brain, the hip-hop update of Ken Kesey's One Flew Over The Cuckoo's nest that is about to embark on another London run. There is also flamenco from guitarist and director Paco Peña, classical ballet from Royal Ballet principal Tamara Rojo and Strictly Come Dancing stars Anton Du Beke and Erin Boag strutting their Latin and ballroom stuff. Wide screens also offer filmed close-ups of the dancing.
