**Delivered by Brighton & Hove City Council’s** *Active for Life* team, the show will take place on Sunday, December 4 at The Brighton Centre at 5.30pm.

The event will once again be compered by multi award-winning hip hop dance teacher, **JP Omari** who will introduce 25 groups to the stage to perform an impressive array of dance styles.

As well as welcoming back Spiral Sussex’s Flashback Dance Crew, *Active for Life* are working with Rounded Rhythm to make a piece for Dance Inc., a group of young people with disabilities.

This year will also feature the launch of the Public Health team’s *Strong Steady* campaign, which encourages adults aged 50+ across the city to improve their strength and balance in order to stay fit and healthy as they get older.

The Active for Life’s Dancing for Health group will demonstrate a dance routine which will then be taught to groups across the city in spring, resulting in a mass performance at the TAKEPART launch in June 2017.

Alongside the performances there will be an information point where details about a whole range of dance and health and well-being opportunities across the city will be provided.
