10...is a celebration of Momentum Dance’s 10th anniversary as a vibrant, cutting edge dance company.

10... is a mixed-bill programme highlighting the diversity of Momentum Dance. An engaging and exhilarating fusion of high-energy street-dance, beautiful lyrical contemporary and powerful physical theatre. 10… is an adrenaline charged, highly theatrical performance showcasing Momentum Dance’s distinct style of compelling choreography, slick musicality and skilful, character driven dance performance.

10... features choreography by the UK’s established and up-and-coming choreographers - including Artistic Director Eddie Copp (dancer/choreographer for Charleroi Dances, Lucinda Childs, Merce Cunningham and Karole Armitage), Luke Brown (Cult, Parasite Entertainment, UK Street Dance Championship finalist) and young up and coming choreographer Anthony Middleton.

10... features Momentum Dance’s professional dancers performing alongside award-winning Momentum Youth Dance Company. Momentum Dance appear at Zoo Southside straight from their success performing at Sadler’s Wells, London as finalists in the National Youth Dance Festival. The 2008 Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the culmination of an exciting 10th anniversary year for Momentum Dance, who have spent the last year touring extensively across their home county of Yorkshire, nationally to London and Edinburgh, and internationally with a tour of Paris.

Momentum Dance have really developed and grown in stature and success in their ten-year history – from humble beginnings as a short-term boys' youth dance group in the Yorkshire mining town of Castleford to ten years later being a successful dance organisation with a proven track record and reputation for quality professional dance performance, award-winning youth dance provision and extensive dance in education services.

“ Momentum have all the exuberance you could wish for but they also have real stage discipline and discernible dance skills.”
The Herald

“ An exhilarating fusion of dance styles including break-dance, jazz, street dance and contemporary.”
