Dance! Dance! Dance! We can't get enough of it! It's one of the most accessible art forms - each and every one of us has dabbled one way or another. Chances are, you love it.

Our Guest Editor this week is Emma Gladstone, a true dance industry mover-shaker. Her early career included dancing with iconic choreographer Lea Anderson (The Cholmondeleys), co-founding Adventures in Motion Pictures (now New Adventures) with Matthew Bourne (think of the all male Swan Lake that inspired Billy Elliot), and was Artistic Programmer & Producer at Sadler's Wells.

Ahead of this years festival (7-22 October) Emma talks to writer Eli Goldstone about the line-up, censorship, empowering woman choreographers, and emerging dance talent from around the world.
