*Satnam Rana – Hip Hop*
And so… they came, they danced, but will they conquer the dance floor next week? You can follow what happens to all our Dance Challenge participants here and on Twitter.

The Festival team will be rubbing shoulders with a few celebs between now and April thanks to the IDFB Dance Challenge. And some of us have already been class buddies to a couple of participants to ease their way into the lessons. Just take a look at the screen grabs below: two of our team members have given Birmingham Mail’s Fionnuala Bourke some moral support at her first ever Club Jazz class.
Tap dancing hopeful Paul Sargent (from Brewin Dolphin) also started his lesson this week and really got into the whole spirit of things. Jodie Schofield from Smooth radio took part in her first Musical Dance class too. Looks like she’s having a lot of fun already.

With four solid weeks of dance just over seven weeks away, we’re hard at it booking flights and accommodation, finalising contracts, designing (lots!) of print, getting the word out to the world’s media, and looking into fun stuff like merchandise. Also, having now finalised more details about our outdoor events, we’ve got some new opportunities for you to be a part of the 2010 experience too.
From auditions for professional dance artists and talented community performers, to vacancies for volunteers in event management support, there are lots of ways you could get involved with IDFB. To find out more, click here.
