Josie d’Arby presents Dance Passion 2022 from Sadler’s Wells in London, one of the world’s leading dance venues.

Filmed as part of a UK-wide celebration of dance, BBC Arts visited locations across the country to capture performances from established and grass roots dance companies, and youth dance groups.

Featured in this programme:

- Ballet Black perform Washa:The Burn From The Inside, choreographed by Mthuthuzeli November, Sadler’s Wells young associate and former BBC young Dancer finalist.

- Vidya Patel joins forces with musician Sarathy Korwar & spoken word artist Zia Ahmed for Birthright.

- The Royal Ballet’s Mayara Magri (principal) and Luca Acri (first soloist) perform Traces, a duet originally choreographed by Cathy Marston.

- The Patience J Collective may only have formed two years ago but they’re already making a big impact - they perform Colours.

- Also featured are two specially commissioned films: from Northern Ireland comes Flight, a collaboration between choreographer Jennifer Rooney and film-maker Ciaran Haggerty; and A Decade Later – a short documentary following the underground culture of street dance “battles” and one of the UK’s most celebrated crews, Prototype.

Dance Passion is a collaboration between BBC Arts and One Dance UK, and is supported by Arts Council England. Show less
