Dance classics in the truest sense
A live 50-piece orchestra will reimagine a selection of dance favourites, accompanied by a dazzling laser display, during Gatecrasher Classical on October 21 at the Barker’s Pool venue.
Music will be played through a full club sound system at the event, part of celebrations to mark the City Hall’s 85th year and Gatecrasher’s 24th anniversary.

The Embrace site is earmarked for an element of the new retail quarter.
High-profile names from the dance world including Paul Oakenfold and Mauro Picotto have appeared at Area so far, while Marco V topped the bill at a showcase on June 17, the 10th anniversary of the blaze.
Meanwhile the Hallé Orchestra continues with its residency at the City Hall.
