The darling buds of May bring the Dance Crusade Festival to Essex.

May 2010 delights dance music fans of England with the Dance Crusade Festival, 'The Biggest Outdoor Dance Music Event Essex Has Ever Seen'. The 30th of May will see festival goers descending on Orsett Showground, Essex, beginning their summer with a bang. It is set to be quite the extravaganza. Hosted by the world's biggest club brands, you will see world class DJs and live acts. Luxury tents will evade the plebs and state-of-the-art sound and lighting will pleasure your aural and optical senses. Catch dancers, stilt walkers, fire eaters and an atmosphere only a festival can provide.

There will be multiple arenas, covering a range of dance genre to appease all who attend. From house, electro and soul to club classics, trance and techno. Mixmag's hatrick winner of  'London Club of the Year' and Ministry of Sound's resident, The Gallery, bring some ferocious trance and progressive DJs to the Main arena. The spectacle doesn't stop at the music, giveaways, 3D colour lasers, LED and projection visuals are all par for the course. You'll be seeing names like BBC 1's Judge Jules and Dutch trance guru Richard Durand. Hed Kandi sports an arena, adding some glitz and glamour to the festival vibe, and there has to be somewhere to hit the club classics; Raindance Vs Epidemik Arena oblige. They supply The Rat Pack Live, and DJs Slipmatt and Brandon Block among others. Promoters, Too Damn Glam and Motherfunkers, collide in their own arena, providing a line-up including Kid Massive and Pique.

Dance Crusade is proud to present other club brands to the mix, including WTF*, Strictly Soulful and Freaky disco, merely three of over 40 other guest DJs and performers. If you wish, a VIP Arena is available, complete with red carpet, luxury loos (useful), cocktail bar and even Dodgems! DanceCrusade will not leave you hungry, a world food fair will cater to all your nutritional needs.

Tickets are available now for £35, but buy four and you get one free. VIP packages for the aristocracy of dance festivals are available for £100 per person, brimming with goodies and perks that will give the experience some elegance.

12 sun soaked hours of dance music. It can't get better than that.
