National Award Winners - Best Boys Programme

Cat and the LEGACY Company were the proud recipients of the Best Boys Programme Award at the UK's first Dance Business Awards held in Birmingham in August. 

LEGACY was chosen from Dance schools and studios across the UK as "a fabulous example of how to encourage and keep boys dancing. By giving boys who want to dance a home and a dance family where they truly belong, along with clear progressions through the age groups so the boys always have someone to aspire to."


SUMMER PERFORMANCES 2022

The boys had a busy summer with outstanding performances at not one, not two but three local events.
They kept audiences entertained at the OVA Charity gig, wowed crowds over two days at the Costessey Fete & Fayre and finished the year with a last hoorah at Horsford Carnival
It was so good to be able to get out in front of local communities and promote not only the brilliant level of work the boys help create but to showcase their positions as role models to other boys and young men who may not know there's a home for them in Norwich.

CINDERELLA: A MUSEUM ADVENTURE

Wednesday 14th February 2018

This Valentine’s day, join Cinderella: A Museum Adventure for an exciting day of performances, talks, and workshops for all the family.

In conjunction with Matthew Bourne’s national tour of Cinderella, New Adventures’ dance artists have been collaborating with the young men of Legacy to create a brand-new piece of dance theatre. The creation will bring local heritage, histories and artefacts to life in pop-up performances under and amongst the planes in AirSpace at Duxford Imperial War Museum.

The dance performance is inspired by the role of young RAF airmen during the Battle of Britain, including their training, life at RAF Duxford and the role of the often unsung ground crew. 

Alternating with these dance performances will be interactive talks about the Lancaster bomber, which is on display in Duxford’s AirSpace. Plus, New Adventures will lead playful and creative dance workshops open to all ages and abilities where visitors can learn choreography from Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella and have the opportunity to create a little something of their own. (Workshop places must be booked in advance)

Performances will take place at: 11am, 12pm, 1:30pm & 3pm
To access all the day's activities, purchase General Admission tickets in advance from: Duxford Imperial War Museum
