Be prepared to dance the day away in the capital when the Big Dance 2012 hits the city this summer, an event forming part of the London 2012 Festival.

Running from 7 July – 15 July at locations all around London, the Big Dance is regarded by many as the world’s biggest and most influential dance initiative which accommodates those of all ages and abilities, attracting two million people last year alone.

It will be coordinated by five of London’s leading dance organisations, with East London Dance, the English National Ballet, Greenwich Dance, Sadler’s Wells and the Siobhan Davies Centre all contributing toward the organisation of a fun festival drenched in dance-related events.

A highlight of the celebrations will be Wayne McGregor’s Big Dance in Trafalgar Square, where a mass performance by 2000 dancers will be led by the resident choreographer of The Royal Ballet Wayne McGregor, embracing the abilities of various dance groups, dancers and choreographers from wide ranging, diverse backgrounds.

Should you be staying in any cheap London accommodation this summer, be sure to take to the streets and take part in or witness a startling dancing spectacle
