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
