Barnet Schools' 37th Dance Festival

March 2026

Welcome to the Barnet Schools' Dance Festival 2026!

Now in its 37th year, this festival continues a proud tradition of bringing together schools from across Barnet to celebrate creativity, movement, and the joy of dance.

From its beginnings in 1990 to today, the festival has inspired tens of thousands of young dancers, offering them the chance to share their talents on a professional stage, to grow in confidence, and to experience the magic of performance.

We hope this year’s programme is as diverse and vibrant as ever, reflecting the energy, imagination, and hard work of pupils and teachers across the borough. Whether it’s contemporary, ballet, street, cultural, or jazz, each performance tells its own story—and together they create an evening of colour, rhythm, and community spirit.

We warmly thank all the teachers, choreographers, parents, and volunteers whose commitment makes this event possible. Most of all, we celebrate the young dancers—your enthusiasm and passion bring this festival to life.
