Over the past few weeks dancers from the Ulster region have embarked on an action shot showcase.

We have been overwhelmed at the engagement in this project and the quality of action shots received from dancers in our region.

In fact, over 500 Ulster dancers are now on show ranging from tots to seniors.

It’s fair to say our beloved art form is truly alive and kicking in Ulster despite everything that has happened over the past few months.

A massive congratulations to all our entries...your action shots blew us away. Many thanks to you, your parents, families and of course your teachers for the help in putting these fabulous photos together.

We hope you enjoyed this project and stay tuned for details of our next project.
