Dover went dance crazy on Saturday as people took part in a special celebration to mark the Cultural Olympiad.

The event also marked the official launch of the big screen in Dover’s Market Square, which played a central part in the dance presentation.

All Dancing Dover followed the success of last year’s Cultural Olympiad launch in the town.

The event featured a wide range of displays from dancers and dance groups, performances from the Sign Dance Collective, and a variety of other attractions.

The range of elements involved in All Dancing Dover meant it was awarded the Inspire Mark, and is officially recognised as part of the Cultural Olympiad celebrations across the country.

Prior to the event, the Loop Dance Company had been out and about in the town centre filming dance sequences which were shown on the screen as part of the presentations in the Market Square.

Local young people also attended workshops during the week to prepare for Saturday's live performances.
