Boys' dance took over Leeds city centre in Easter 2018 as NSCD presented 'COLLIDE' a free one-day dance event specifically for boys.

On Friday 6 April, Leeds hosted 38 all-male dance performances with over 2000 audience members across 7 different city centre locations as well as 4 participatory workshops for young dancers.

With funding from Leeds Inspired and coordinated by NSCD's Learning & Participation team, the city-wide event aimed to highlight the breadth of opportunities for male dancers in Leeds.

A diverse range of professional dance companies and community groups performed during the event including:

Company Chameleon
Hawk Dance Theatre
Northern Rascals
DAZL
Kick off Boys
Mind The Gap
Academy of Northern Ballet
