    Fairly tragic piece by the Sunday Mercury but then this is the kind of publicity that means the show’ll sell out, so good on them (kinda). And anyway, they clearly haven’t heard the half of it

For the uninitiated, IDFB is a massive festival of dance organised by Dancexchange and the Hippodrome.

    I like IDFB. It was probably the first one, back in 2008, that got me interested in dance in the first place. I then worked on the 2010 festival and managed to pack in 18 shows over the course of its month-long run. This one looks like being another good one.
