MDI worked with the Heart of Glass Project, The Citadel Arts Centre and St Helen's Council to bring a vibrant and exciting international dance programme to the town as City Steps meets St Helen's Summer Streets Festival 2014. The dance programme ran across three days and included stage and strolling performances on Church Street as well as site specific pieces in partnership with Tyrer's Department Store on Bridge Street.
