DAZL Youth Dance Company take part in Hull Dance #Unite2016 DAZL Youth Company was invited to take part in Hull Dance #Unite2016 at Hull College and perform #NoFilter “The obsession with the selfie”. The day was full of workshops which included House, Contemporary, Jazz and South Asian. The dancers had the opportunity to work with young people across the region in the workshops then each group learned a bow which they all performed together. The day ended in a performance/ sharing from each of the groups which was wonderful. We are so grateful for the opportunity to be involve in this event and the company came back full of inspiration and energy.
