Thanks so much to the Chalk Cliff Trust for funding us again for the year ahead.

With their input we are able to carry on our weekly sessions at a subsidised cost, as well as offering extras to our dancers such as social get togethers.

We are so pleased 😄

In July and August Harry led a wonderful 6 week project supported by Lydia, at Grace Eyre. Grace Eyre

This led to 2 x dance performances, one for the festival attendees at The Big Purple Funfest, and one for people who attend Grace Eyre. Please watch the documentary of this collaboration - https://www.grace-eyre.org/2025/11/11/defying-gravity-echo-performing-arts-and-the-grace-eyre-drama-group/

We currently have 9 trained dance leaders who are able to run sessions in the community. Do get in touch if you are an organisation who would benefit from this kind of collaboration.

Our Wednesday session Jazz Hands Dance has changed its time slightly to accommodate a quiet settling time for half an hour beforehand.

What is settling time? This is time to get used to the space we will be dancing in, to explore props, chat to each other, and listen to music that we like.

New timings:
Settling time - 12.30pm-1pm
Jazz Hands Dance - 1pm-2pm

Our leaders had a wonderful time leading a session for Together Co earlier this year.

This is a really valuable service in Brighton & Hove ❤️

Our befriending socials are a great way for everyone in our community to get together, have a cup of tea and chat, play games, and celebrate special occasions. We hold three groups in different locations in Brighton & Hove every month, including a new group in the north of the city at the New Larchwood Lounge, Coldean. If you know someone who would benefit from coming to one of our social groups then please get in touch.
