Motion Control 25 Years Anniversary
Set for 19 July 2025 at Central Park in Barry, Motion 25 Festival is poised to showcase the evolution of Motion Control Dance from a small movement to a regionally renowned dance charity in the Vale of Glamorgan over the past 25 years.
To mark the occasion, we will be hosting a unique birthday dance party. We will be seeing and hearing from some of the inspirational community practitioners that have supported MCD in it’s journey along with our members past & present, detailing the impact that our charity has made in enriching lives through movement over the years.
The dance party will aim to give our community “A Chance to Dance”, echoing its founding ethos of celebrating hip-hop culture of peace, love, unity, and having fun through community empowerment through dance and movement, creating a platform for groups experiencing disadvantage to engage, perform and be inspired for the future.
Join Emma Mallam and the Motion Control Dance charity to celebrate huge milestones this summer. This event will be a joyful reminder of how dance can transform lives, build lasting relationships, and create a sense of belonging that lasts far beyond the studio.
This 25th anniversary celebration is not just about looking back at all the amazing work the charity has done in the Vale — it’s about celebrating the connections, friendships, and shared memories that dance has fostered over the years.
Come and dance with us this summer!
The party will include a variety of exciting performances and workshops, highlighting the diversity and creativity of the dance classes MCD has run over the years. From inclusive dance to contemporary dance, street dance, and everything in between, the event showcases the wide range of classes that have helped shape the dance scene in the Vale of Glamorgan.
The event will include workshops taught by the amazing current MCD teachers. These sessions are designed to inspire both the new generation of dancers and those who have danced for years but are looking for a creative refresher. It's a chance to learn, grow, and discover something new, whether you're a seasoned performer or just beginning to explore the world of dance.
