First Feat reflects and celebrates the diversity of cultures and styles of youth dance in East London and Essex and offers young dancers a unique performance opportunity, as well as the chance to view each other’s work. The event includes the full technical support of the backstage team at the theatre, a warm-up led by a professional choreographer and this year participants have also prepared and performed a finale dance!

The participants in this year’s First Feat represent 14 different schools and dance groups from across East London and Essex, and includes the Queen’s own youth dance group Jump Start. Performers will spend the day working with the theatre’s technical team in order to achieve the desired lighting effects for their performance, as well as participating in a group warm-up and learning the finale with Jump Start’s choreographer Emma Mushens.

In the evening the participants will perform in two separate shows (6pm and 8pm) to an audience of parents, friends, members of the public and their fellow participants.
