We can't quite believe it was almost 20 years ago that the very first Spring Forward welcomed dancers of all ages and abilities to stages in Somerset. It was wonderful to witness how participants slowly grew into a community, united by a shared passion for the art of dance. Seeing this event attract so many regular and new dancers year after year makes us extremely proud and grateful.

We are excited to announce that Spring Forward will be back in 2025 for its 20th year. We have three dates confirmed at the Tacchi Morris Arts Centre and the McMillan Theatre:

Friday 7 March – Tacchi Morris Arts Centre, Taunton
Friday 21 March – Tacchi Morris Arts Centre, Taunton
Thursday 27 March – McMillan Theatre, Bridgwater

We will be taking applications from groups from November and will be sending out more information closer to the date. If you would like to be added to the list to receive this information, please email springforward@takeart.org

We are already busy planning something special for our 20th anniversary event, it will definitely be one to remember! Once we have everything confirmed we'll share all the exciting details, so keep your eyes out for our social media pages and upcoming newsletters.

Until then, enjoy these lovely shots captured by Len Copland at Spring Forward 2024.
