Hit The Road - Ascendance on Tour 2026

May 20, 2026

Come and find us at one of our forthcoming events - we would love to see you there. From Leeds to Fleetwood and back again, we can't wait to jump on the minibus!

Fuse Dance Collective will be dancing some of our popular signature dances to get everyone feeling good, plus performing two brand new dance pieces created with their trainee choreographers:

"Switching" — choreographed by David Ainsworth, this powerful piece explores the ever-changing nature of Parkinson's symptoms, shining a light on the contrast between 'on' and 'off' periods - when medication is working, and when it isn't. Each day we set off armed with our pill dispensers, hoping for the best — sometimes stalled by life's indignities, sometimes waltzing the night away on a medicated wave.

"Our Grand Day Out" — inspired by Patrick Johnson's love of journeys from Leeds to the seaside, this joyful piece takes you on a trip through cherished memories of traditional seaside holidays. From the beauty of sand and sea, to the excitement of the journey, the thrill of the promenade, a brave dip in the cold sea, and the fun of the beach, we even throw in a tribute to Laurel & Hardy and a cheeky flirtation with the Charleston! 🎩
