Blackpool:
A Celebration of dance
A Fine art Collection
By Alexander Rowan
Blackpool: A Celebration of Dance is a photographic exhibition by Alexander Rowan showcasing over a decade of his works as freelance photographer at the Blackpool Dance Festival in England.
The collection is highlighted by his abstract photographic artworks showcasing the Empress Ballroom of the Winter Gardens - one of the most iconic and storied venues in the history of ballroom dancing.
But the heart and soul of the collection are the dancer’s who have dared to dream, and dreamed to dance on this hollowing floor — in celebration of the ProAm portion of the festival that Alexander’s work has centered upon in recent years.
The virtual exhibition will be accessible May 15th - June 21st and select works from the collection will be on display in person at the 100th Blackpool Dance Festival in England in festival in partnership with DanceShopper May 16th-29th, 2026
‘A star danced,
and under that was I born.’
