It's free, it's exciting, it's awesome, it's the very best in dance to the heart of the City! All afternoon on the Dance Stage in Gloucester Green there will be much to see and enjoy (including a mass Zumba workout!). There will be pop-up performances around town and chaos caused by charismatic Grannies (as the hugely popular Granny Turismo bring their revved-up shopping trolleys back to the streets of Oxford!) Stay for 10 minutes, for an hour or all afternoon. Bring the family, a picnic or choose from food stalls on site. Fun for everyone, and best of all its free! See website nearer the time for a timetable of events or turn up on the day.

Dancin' On The Green Features:

James Wilton Dance – Leviathan
A 25 minute performance of the sell-out show seen at Pegasus in February, Leviathan will leave you gasping for air under the sheer ferocity of movement. A cast of 7 will wow you with a blend of athletic dance, martial arts, capoeira and partner-work, accompanied by a powerful electro-rock soundtrack by Lunatic Soul! Follow Captain Ahab and the crew as they search for the great white whale Moby Dick...you won't regret it

Company Chameleon - Push
Athletic yet sensitive, Push is a beautiful yet powerful and engaging male duet, which looks at the different stances we take as relate to one another. The piece looks at how we push to exert dominance and control, and at other times choose to submit and step back
Choreographed by Anthony Missen and Kevin Edward Turner, aka Company Chameleon.
Co-commissioned by Without Walls and Dance Initiative Greater Manchester

Sole Rebel Tap – Spatterdash
An energetic and colourful tap show to an electro-swing soundtrack created especially by The Chicken Brothers. Sole Rebel Tap’s glamorous dancers tear up the stage with spats, fishnets and tailed jackets dancing to well- known music, creating an uplifting and popular show which will appeal to all ages.

Plus, don't miss some of the best Urban Dance crews Oxford has to offer, including Beat Street and Step2Dance

C-12 Dance Theatre return to Oxford with Secret Encounters - A series of short dance pieces, choreographed by exciting, diverse and award winning choreographers that will pop up unexpectedly. Inspired by “First encounters that last forever”, the pieces will transform outdoor spaces into a live performance for a brief moment. The times will be secret, the locations will be secret…… Catch them if you can!

Dancin' on the Green is supported by Oxford Playhouse
