IGNITE is a family-friendly hip hop theatre festival presented by the Dance House - don't miss Ignite 2026 with theatre workshops, live DJ & MC, and crew performances from 3pm, as well as our Hip Hop Theatre Night at 6.30pm featuring some of the freshest new dance theatre work from dancers and dance companies based at the Dance House! At our theatre night, expect a dynamic showcase drawing on hip hop, breaking and more with new dance theatre works exploring concepts such as peer pressure, making connections, and the struggle for control.

After the first edition in 2024, which earned a 4-star review from The Scotsman, IGNITE continues to grow each year!

 

Festival hub activities from 3-6pm are FREE to attend and unticketed, including DJ & MC, dance space, and performances from incredible adult and youth hip hop crews from all around Scotland. Join us for a vibrant afternoon, celebrating hip hop dance of every style from breaking, popping and old school hip hop to hip hop dance in musical theatre and in heels.

 

We also have an afternoon of inspirational hip hop theatre workshops, running in the theatre studio at 3-6pm, with Corey Owens, Monarchy and WAMNAM - all open to book now!
