Next month’s T in the Park audience will be getting ‘active’ onsite as they are invited to take part in the T-Dance – a fun dance routine which will take place at 3pm on the festival’s Main Stage on Sunday 10^th July.

The 80’s retro-style mass participation dance routine is part of the year of Active Scotland event programme, supported by EventScotland. The dance routine hosted by two dancers live on stage, will guide the Main Stage crowd through the dance moves. The routine, specifically devised for the festival’s 85,000 daily audience will also be shown by way of the main stage jumbotron screens so the audience can familiarise themselves with the sequences in advance.

The T-Dance will be set to none other than 80’s hip-hop floor filler ‘Push It’ by Salt-N-Pepa. The routine is choreographed by Barrowland Ballet’s Natasha Gilmore who has danced and devised for The Institute of Crazy Dancing and BBC’s The Big Dance Class, has choreographed music videos for Basement Jaxx and is a former Artist in Residence at Dance House, Glasgow. The dancers who will lead on stage are Vince Virr (of Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake) and Jade Adamson (of Barrowland Ballet).

Choreographer Natasha Gilmore comments:“T in the Park’s crowd is renowned the world over so who better to participate in a huge dance routine with us before Blondie perform on the Main Stage. We will be showing some of the key movements from the dance on the Main Stage screens over the weekend so we’re anticipating some great moves and grooves from the crowd at 3pm on the Sunday.”
