Homegrown are a collective supporting youth led dance initiatives. Following lockdown they developed a piece of dance based on the local high street to be performed at the national U Dance festival, hosted by The Lowry, Salford and performances across Cheshire West and Chester including St Mary’s Centre and several schools.

The microgrant supported the group to devise the dance over 8 sessions and the January launch, fully subsidising participation for some of the groups members.

Participants’ feedback and comments: “I loved the opportunity to work with PJ Hurst who has danced with Mathew Bourne.” “I was so excited about performing at The Lowry” “I made lots of new friends at the U dance event”

LEGACY: The fund enabled all young dancers to take part and the group hope to get through to the national festival and perform in London. Visit their website.
