Together with her carefully selected team, consisting of Assistant Director Vicki Igbokwe and Creative Assistant Helen Wilson, Jeanefer guided a group of local artists, leaving behind a meaningful legacy.

Performance Director

Jeanefer Jean-Charles created the first-ever Big Dance, which took place on Saturday 22nd July 2006 in Trafalgar Square, London. This large-scale dance event was the centrepiece to Big Dance week and an exhilarating finale to BBC One's Dancing in the Streets.

"I hope that by seeing ordinary people doing something so extraordinary, audiences won’t feel so shy about taking up dance. And I hope that, if we can do another Big Dance, they’ll all want to take part!"
