Essense Heels

Bringing together the elegance of Paris and the strength of femininity, Essense Heels showcases the power and beauty of dance performed in heels. Standing tall on their stilettos, the Essense cast promise a night of bold movement, grooves and striking shapes.

Featuring a collective of Brighton-based heels dancers, the show celebrates the diverse styles, stories and energies each performer brings to the stage.

Directed and choreographed by Essense founder Pearl Makayi, who also performs throughout the evening, this production marks her first full-length work.

Join us for an evening celebrating femininity, confidence and unapologetic self-expression through fierce performances and high-energy movement.

Presented in partnership with Brighton Fringe.
