While Blackpool is known primarily as a tourist resort with amazing amusement arcades and fun fairs, the town also has many museums and art galleries of note.
The Louis Tussauds Waxworks on Central Promenade is certainly Blackpool’s most famous museum. It contains five floors of incredibly lifelike waxwork figures of the Royal family, along with film stars, great singers, superstar athletes and politicians. The museum also has a Chamber of Horrors that is not for the faint of heart and the Anatomy Exhibition.
Science lovers will thoroughly enjoy the Golden Mile Centre on Central Promenade which features a popular Exhibition of the Universe, complete with various aliens and UFOs. The exhibit was created by David Boyle, a researcher who specializes in the spiritual, the supernatural and the unexplained.
Now that you are in a “science fiction mood,” you should pop into the Dr Who Exhibition and Museum, which is just a few short steps away. The Dr Who Exhibit includes a massive collection of original props and costumes spanning 40 years of British science fiction on television.
The Blackpool Model Village and Gardens is another impressive sight, occupying two-and-a-half acres of beautiful gardens on Stanley Park. The exhibit features hundreds of models, including a model windmill and castle, set against a stunning backdrop of lakes, running streams and waterfalls.
If boats are your thing, then the Blackpool Lifeboat Station and Visitor Centre on Central Promenade may be just what the doctor ordered. Standing beneath the imposing shadow of Blackpool Tower, the lifeboat station has a delightful visitorsâ centre with its own interactive displays, a viewing gallery and a souvenir shop.
Blackpool may have only one legitimate art gallery, but what a gallery it is. The Grundy Art Gallery, located right next to the Blackpool Central Library on Queen Street, is widely regarded as one of the premiere small galleries in the United Kingdom. Built in 1911 as a multi-purpose building, the Grundy Art Gallery offers a tranquil haven of peace and serenity to those who wish to escape Blackpool’s hustle and bustle even for a moment.
The gallery is named in honor of the Grundy brothers, Cuthbart and John, two avid art collectors who donated their impressive collection of paintings to the town of Blackpool in 1903. Hence, the Grundy Art Gallery was formed. Today, the gallery boasts of a huge collection of oils and watercolors, including classic and modern British paintings, Oriental ivories and prints.
Over the years, the gallery’s collection has grown considerably and now includes quite a number of ceramics and old photographs depicting Blackpool’s rich history. Throughout the year, many of the foremost local and national artists stage special exhibitions to the delight of visitors.
Although Blackpool only has one art gallery, there are many temporary exhibitions all year round, especially during the summer months at the North Pier. Recently, the North Pier played host to the George Formby Centenary Exhibitions, which commemorated the 100th birth anniversary of the legendary film star and singer.
Over at South Promenade is another permanent display of contemporary art dubbed as the Great Promenade Show. Some of the leading artists and designers in the UK pool their talents to make this year-round outdoor exhibit a hit by contributing noteworthy pieces of sculptures, art pieces and even lighting. At night, the exhibit becomes an inspirational sight, especially when the light hits certain angles and creates new dimensions.
While touring Blackpool for its museums and galleries, visitors should also take note of the town’s many offerings in the realm of dance, such as the annual Dance Festival, contemporary dance school and the tea dances every Saturday at the Tower Ballroom. For these and other reasons, Blackpool has gained some fame as Britain’s capital of dance.
With its theatres regularly hosting the English National Ballet and with the town itself serving as the venue for the World Ballroom dance competitions, Blackpool has certainly earned its niche in the world of dance. But nothing reinforces its reputation as Britain’s dance capital than the annual Blackpool Dance Festival.
Now over 80 years old, the Dance Festival brings together top dancers from over 50 countries to compete in ballroom and Latin American dancing. The competition almost always includes the British Open Championships. Being the best looking pair on the floor doesn’t guarantee victory but it certainly helps. And the competitors know that as well, as evidenced by these statistics. During the annual Dance Festival, dancers consume about 2,000 cans of hairspray, 1,000 bottles of nail varnish, 3,000 bottles of fake tan and use up over 1,500 pairs of tights.
If you enjoy contemporary dance, then a trip to Blackpool’s leading theatres should be in order. Both the Grand Theatre and the Opera House are renowned for staging modern and hip musicals.
Meanwhile, if you want to do more than just watch, then bring your dancing shoes and head for any of the many dance schools in Blackpool which offer everything from modern and ballroom dancing to ballet, jazz and tap dancing.

We’re getting near the very end of the second season of Fox’ smash hit reality competition So You Think You Can Dance. So You Think You Can Dance has proved to be a grueling 12-week competition for the dancers. The show is produced by 19 Entertainment and Dick Clark Productions, and was created by Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe, who also serves as a judge the show. The final four who are dancing into the finals to become America’s number one dancer are: Benji Schimmer, Donyelle Jones, Travis Wall and Heidi Groskreutz. The August 8th, 2006 show brought us the final competitive performances from all four, both as solo artists and in pairs.
Heidi and Travis started off the finals with a pair’s disco performance. They danced to the disco theme song “Shake Your Groove Thing” by Peaches and Herb. Travis wore a John Travolta-esque white suit, and they did a full-on version of the 70′s Hustle. There were lots of lifts in the program that were executed with ease. The judges didn’t exactly find it memorable, but were mostly pleased by it. Nigel said that Heidi is the best girl partner in the entire competition. Judge Mary loved the dance. Brian and Nigel brought up Heidi’s facial expressions, saying that they worked for this dance in particular. Her unusual and mostly jarring facial expressions have been noticed by many throughout the season.
Benji and Donyelle’s turn found them attempting to execute the very difficult Viennese Waltz. Donyelle was wearing something that looked like a JC Penney prom dress. As a true Viennese Waltz, it missed the mark; Nigel Lythgoe summed the dance up in one word: hideous.
In an interesting turn of events, Travis and Benji danced together under then name of TRANJI in a program choreographed by Shane Sparks. The judges were very pleased by the routine, which featured both Travis and Benji dressed as 50′s New York newsboys.
The rest of the solos were not memorable at all, evidenced by the fact that I have no memory of them. The girls did a pairs number from the Broadway musical Sweet Charity.
Travis and Donyelle did a bluesy routine, dancing to “Georgia on My Mind” by Ray Charles. The judges said it was “beautiful and captivating” and Mary said the routine made her feel like “having a mint julep and a Georgia peach.” Brian said that it was pure art, and thanked Mia, who was the choreographer. Heidi and Benji came next with a aggressive and spirited Salsa, and Nigel said that Benji is the best male partner on the show who excels in executing lifts. Mary and Brian were equally as thrilled with the footwork and lifts. Together, Heidi and Benji were sensational.
The final performance of the night was a group performance choreographed by the famous Wade Robeson. The dancers were supposed to be famous couture models and posed and danced to Justin Timberlake’s new single “Sexy Back”.

Need to find a dance partner for competition. In Monterey CA area or partner ability to travel easily. Also someone who knows a coach would be very helpful. Serious about performance. Where are the good teachers and students?
Since I do not know where you life, I can only give you general information. WWW.Dance.net is a wonderful forum and allows you to post for auditions.
Hi. I am thinking about training my dog for obedience or dance competitions. I was just wondering what the different rules are and what is expected. What gains more points and what causes penalties to be issued? Is there any competitions that you would recommend near Chicago?? Thanks so much!!
Any idea where some good instructors are too???
For freestyle, these are the two major organizations. I'd suggest you check them out for rules and competition dates:
World Canine Freestyle Organization: http://www.worldcaninefreestyle.org/
Canine Freestyle Federation: http://www.canine-freestyle.org/
I don't know much about freestyle. I would suggest that you go on YouTube and search for "dog freestyle" or "dog dance." There are some great routines on there that might inspire you. Also, here are some great books and videos for teaching your dog: http://www.dogwise.com/Browse/SubCatList.cfm?SubCat=Canine%20Freestyle
There are several clubs that have obedience competition, the best known being AKC. You can find AKC obedience trials here: http://www.akc.org/events/search/ Not all obedience trials are listed under obedience trials. Many conformation shows also have obedience trials. Here is more info about AKC obedience, including the rules: http://www.akc.org/events/obedience/index.cfm
In terms of classes, I'd suggest you see if any local obedience clubs have classes. The instructors at such clubs usually understand the rules for competition so they're a great resource. http://www.akc.org/clubs/search/index.cfm?action=obed&display=on
While I'm hardly an expert, I have competed in AKC obedience. If you have any questions in that regard, feel free to send me an e-mail and I'll try to help you out.
Good luck!
