Ashley Banjo on Stockton High St. 28 May 2013
Ashley Banjo is coming to Stockton-on-Tees this summer for a brand new
Sky 1 HD show that will get the whole town dancing. JULY 14 2013

He met local gran of 39 Mary White, who said: “He’s a really nice person and I think Stockton folk will help him and loads of people will turn up.”
And he showed asylum seeker Edith Halle, 30, of Stockton, some dance moves. She said: “Stockton’s quieter than London, but he’ll do it!” Stockton has a proud dance heritage going back to the war and until the 1960s, had three dance halls. But in the 1970s, they began to close. |
Now Ashley plans to change all that. He hopes to bring together people who have never met - shop assistants, market traders, teachers and care workers, Ashley will choreograph a series of individual street dance routines.
For one day, Stockton’s High Street will be transformed into an open air venue.
Ashley will lead a street-dance event which will be broadcast on Sky 1 later this year as Ashley Banjo: The Town That Danced Again.
Sky head Michele Kurland said: “Ashley’s hugely talented and his passion and commitment to street dance will convince the whole of Stockton to dance.”
