Sheffielders were twisting, jiving and foot-tapping this weekend as the Chance to Dance Festival took place across city centre locations. Dance performance in the streets, from Barker’s Pool to the Moor, included ballroom, tap dancing, ballet and belly dancing with the public invited to join in as well as watch. The event also featured the Sheffield Giants, War and Peace, who are celebrating 25 years since they were presented to the city in 1992.
Sheffield young and old gathered at the Sheffield City Hall ballroom for a traditional New Years Eve celebration. Traditional ball room dancing has taken place in Sheffield since the 1930s with couples quickstepping and waltzing around the art deco room and the New Years Eve tea dances remaining as popular as ever.

Saturday afternoons at the Sheffield City Hall has local people dancing the Waltz, Foxtrot and Tango.
