Boys in Babergh 2011

Now in its 10th year, Boys in Babergh gathers 100 boys from around the Babergh district to take part in a 3 month dance project, culminating in a public performance, which in 2011 will take place at the Jerwood DanceHouse, during the weekend of 5/6 March. Boys in Babergh is led by DanceEast tutor Tom Hobden and a professional male choreographer. Past choreographers have included Matthias Sperling, Tom Dale, Kenneth Tharp and comic duo New Art Club.

Previous participants have gone onto join Boyz United; DanceEast's boys-only youth dance company and the DanceEast Academy, the Centre for Advanced Training for the Eastern region.
