BBC Two - Our Dancing Town, Skipton

Steve Elias heads to Skipton, to find out what makes this picturesque market town tick.

Choreographer Steve Elias heads to Skipton to find out what makes this picturesque market town tick and gets the local people to participate in a dance spectacular.

The second of three Yorkshire towns celebrates its history, heritage and culture in a one-off dance spectacular through the town's streets, with the help of West End performer and choreographer Steve Elias.

Steve is heading to Skipton, the Gateway to the Dales, to find out what makes this picturesque market town tick, and get as many people on board as he can. He is delighted with a lucky find in his first rehearsal and surprised to uncover a vibrant dance scene, keen to take part. But the crucial cornerstones of the town's past - local farmers and market traders - prove trickier to persuade. Can Steve win them over and reunite these once close-knit groups, as well as cajole a cast of hundreds to perform in his unique dance parade, which he wants to capture in one continuous, unedited camera shot?
