Diversity's IGNITE: The Street Dance Circus Spectacular

After seven sell out UK tours, half a million tickets sold, and countless television and live performances, Diversity have announced another groundbreaking UK tour, “Ignite” The Street Dance Circus Spectacular for Autumn 2018.

Creator and choreographer Ashley Banjo has always explored new opportunities and looked to create fresh innovative concepts; nearly 10 years after winning Britain’s Got Talent, Ignite is no exception to that rule.

Circus has always had a huge influence on Diversity and their shows, but Ignite will take the combination of street dance and circus to a whole new level. To celebrate 250 years of circus Diversity have partnered with Gandey World Class Productions, one of the biggest touring circuses in the world, to bring audiences a show that will leave them in awe. Ignite will be hitting seven cities around the UK this autumn in a touring 2000-seat big top arena to give the true circus experience.

Ignite is an exciting fusion from the best of the world street dance, Diversity, and some of most incredible circus performers from around the globe to create something audiences have never seen before. The show explores the concept of the fire within; the burning passion that allows you to achieve more than you ever thought possible. With street dance, acrobatics, death defying stunts, magic and feats of impossibility, Ignite will leave audiences rethinking what they thought was humanly possible, and once your mind has been opened, who knows what it could ignite within you…
