What is our city dances?

Our City Dances is a family-friendly fun day outside The Dance Space. There will be activities for all ages. Above is a photo from last year’s event.

How much is this event?

This event is completely free. You can turn up and just enjoy the atmosphere or take part in the workshops throughout the day at no cost.

Where is it?

Our City Dances will take place outside The Dance Space, 2 Market Square, Circus Street, Brighton, BN2 9AS.

Most of the workshops and performances will take place on the concrete outside the building apart from the final performance which will be in the Aldridge studio with the bi-fold doors open (so you can view it from outside).

On the grass, seen in the photo, there will be some giant games and space for you to sit and relax through the day.
