Huddersfield
Huddersfield celebrates its history, heritage and culture in a dance spectacular through the town's streets, with the help of West End choreographer Steve Elias.
The third of three Yorkshire towns celebrates its history, heritage and culture in a one-off dance spectacular through the town's streets, with the help of West End performer and choreographer Steve Elias.
Steve is heading to Huddersfield, where he discovers how its world-class textile industry brought not just wealth and renown, but a diverse mix of cultures and dance traditions. His efforts to rally the biggest town he has visited get off to a promising start and locals embrace Steve's efforts to fill the gap left by the recently cancelled carnival. But the ever-growing scale and numbers bring their own set of challenges. Steve battles the elements, does his best to win over mill workers and gets more than he bargained for at a visit to Sikh sword dancers as he attempts to pull off his biggest dance parade to date. Can he corral hundreds on to the streets of Huddersfield in celebration of their home town and successfully capture their dance in one continuous, unedited shot?
