Dancing Byron-style takes place at the infamous Splendour hangout – The Tipi Forest. It's the colourful and cosy meeting place for all party-goers. The dance floor is shared with wild dancers, performers, stilt-dancers, acro-artists and installation/décor artists combining to create a visual kaleidoscope. At night, punters are treated with a viewing of video artwork of Crystal Grid Studios.
