Event
As the leading dance company in Northern Ireland, Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company is yet again breaking new ground in its attempts to involve more people in dance and movement.
The Derry-based company has come up with a unique and exciting event happening on 18 October - Dance Picnic.
Saturday afternoon in the Echo Echo Dance Studio will be an opportunity for all ages to come together, meet, eat some lunch and dance.

The Dance Picnic will take place on Saturday 18 October 2008 from 1.30pm to 4.30pm in the Echo Echo Dance Studio at the Waterside Theatre and costs £3 per person with group and family discounts available.
Participants are encouraged to bring along some food to share with others, be it sandwiches, salads or cakes.
