Have you heard our new Blackpool song, ‘The Blackpool Way‘?
The track was created by Leeds-based composer, Callum Harvie for our Get Dancing project. It takes inspiration from Horiato Nicholls’ 1938 hit: Blackpool Walk.
Wow! We were absolutely blown away by your dance moves, which helped inspire House of Wingz when they came up with the Blackpool Way routine.
Check out all of the submissions in our gallery, and see if you can spot yourself or someone you know!

Think the history of ballroom dancing is just about jazzy dresses and whirling about? Wrong! It’s a fascinating tale of international influence, rebellion and talent. With a bit of elbow flouncing thrown in.
Join Rebecca, Showtown’s assistant curator, on a whistle stop tour of ballroom dancing, to understand how the world’s most famous dancing competition came to be right here in Blackpool!
