RJC Dance Youth Provision Annual Showcase returns to the Riley Theatre where we witnessed our young, talented performers light up the stage across two sold-out evenings in December 2025. The atmosphere was absolutely electric.
RJC Dance Youth Provision members and the Adult Community Class performers returned bolder and more commanding than ever before, we were delighted to be joined by members of our alumni network, including now-professional artist, Daniella May.
Alongside the performances, the showcase concluded with an awards ceremony celebrating the young creatives, community members, volunteers and fundraisers who have contributed to the organisations achievements throughout 2025.
Kathy Williams MBE, OLY, RJC Dance Director, said:
“Two sold out nights at the Riley Theatre, where our young people presented their skills and talents and were truly celebrated on a professional stage.”
This year’s showcase was a reminder of why we do what we do, creating opportunities and experiences for young people to shine. We’re incredibly proud of every single performer, from those stepping on to the stage for the very first time to the alumni who return to give back.”
Cllr Jane Dowson, Chapel Allerton Ward Deputy Executive Member, shared:
“RJC Dance is outstanding, it not only has the most amazing dance skills training for young people, they raise aspirations and confidence too. The annual Christmas Showcase is an amazing explosion of joy and creativity, the energy in the room is infectious. I always leave feeling not only entertained but proud that such wonderful organisations and exceptional you people live in Leeds”
