Collide Festival

University of East London’s Dance: Urban Practice degree students present Collide Festival: Where Dance Meets Performance at Stratford Circus.

Collide Festival is UEL’s annual, student run dance festival designed to showcase East London’s thriving urban dance scene.

In its 2nd year, the Dance: Urban Practice students will continue to build on Collide Festival’s sell out success last year…

“This year we are aiming to promote "where dance meets performance" by harnessing the vast array of dance styles available in the UK - from Contemporary and Popping to Capoeira and Bharatanatyam.”

– Zarah Matin (2nd year Dance: Urban Practice degree student)
Collide will be packed with high energy dance performances from UEL students, street art, dance battles, dance on screen, a symposium and special guest acts including Theo 'Godson' Olayade (Sky 1's Got To Dance Finalist) and Fred 'Realness' Folks (UK Funk Styles specialist).
