Dance Al Fresco in London’s Regent’s Park and Sleep Soundly in London Hotels This Summer

June 22, 2012, 9:22 am -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Shaking off the shackles of the ballroom, Dance Al Fresco takes dancing outdoors to the beautiful surroundings of Regent's Park once again this summer. The origins of this now hugely popular dance spectacular began humbly. In 1998 a group of dancers began an impromptu performance of Argentine Tango, much to the amazement of Regent's Park regulars and awe-struck tourists. The group of dancers returned year after year, with their numbers swelling and before they new it they had a loyal following and an event on their hands.

Thanks to high-profile dance shows like Strictly Come Dancing, the UK has rekindled its love affair with dance. Now dance in a more organised fashion is enjoyed every summer in Regent's Park. Dance Al Fresco provides an opportunity to dance in the open air for free, but visitors can brush up on their dance moves or try dancing for the first time at one of the many ticketed dance classes, with all proceeds going to tree planting in the park.

The event runs for five weeks from 7 July through to 12 August at Regent's Park Inner Circle near the Open Air Theatre.
