Transmission brings Tameside’s rich dance story to life — from the borough’s proud Morris traditions to its eras of ballroom elegance, Rock and Roll energy, Northern Soul passion and full‑throttle rave culture — through community engagement, live Morris and Ceilidh performances, participatory moments, Northern Soul sessions and thoughtful panel discussions.
Taking place across Friday 20 March and Saturday 21 March 2026, this evolving programme honours the past while inviting communities to help shape what dance means to Tameside today, forming a vibrant new celebration of the borough’s dance heritage produced in partnership by Tameside‑based artist and culture producer Sarah Hardacre and TMBC Cultural Services. Commissioned by Greater Manchester Arts and TMBC, Transmission is supported by GMCA Spirit and part‑funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
