Unanimous 2026 is a sell out!

16th April 2026

Over the past fourteen years, the Unanimous platform has continued to expand and help young people from the ages of 12-24 years to get together in a professional theatre, develop skills, share their experience and form new connections.

This year we were delighted to be joined at The MAC Belfast for the first time by Derry Dance Collective.   Then, alongside two groups from DU Dance NI’s Youth Engagement Programmes; Sutemos Youth Dance and Belfast Boys, Unanimous also welcomed Claire Novaes Dance (Moira), Dublin Youth Dance Company, FYI Dance Club (Wicklow), High Points Youth Ballet (Belfast), Ohr Dance Company and Laois Youth Dance Ensemble (Juniors and Seniors).  Have a look at the photo collage below.

It was a fantastic evening compèred with great energy by the Youth Steering Group.   As with previous Unanimous showcase events, audiences enjoyed a great variety of powerful performances and the feedback was really positive:

Excellent. Very fun and loved seeing the dancers enjoying themselves.

Well organised and professional. 

Outstanding!!

Really interesting and diverse.

Unanimous brings together some of the best youth dance groups in a non-competitive event. The diversity of the line-up for Unanimous always serves to reaffirm DU Dance (NI)’s commitment to fostering dance talent and providing a supportive professional environment for dancers of all backgrounds.  When asked why youth dance is important, here are some of the responses from the audience:

It is vital for self-expression, making friendships, some discipline and exercise.

Youth dance is vital for youth people to have the opportunity to express themselves, to learn something new and engage with peers

If you were there, do tell us what you thought.

We look forward to doing it all again in April 2027!
