Best Worst Dances
Who doesn’t like dancing as if no one is watching?
Best Worst Dances is an unpredictable night of music, movement and performance. Dancers step into the spotlight, try new moves, take risks and put themselves out there — succeeding and failing in equal measure.
“Glitter ball, mirrors, lights, bar, jukebox… the unmistakable signs of balletLORENT in After Dark mode. Life-affirming”
David Whetstone, Cultured North East.
Human, funny, sexy and real. A joyful, no-perfectionist riot where losing yourself on the dance floor is far more delicious than trying to be cool.
And when the show is over, the dance floor is yours. Stay for a drink, meet the dancers or get up and join in.
