We are thrilled to be working with Leading Lives to establish a brand-new Dementia Cafe right here in the DanceHouse, running most Wednesdays.
DeCafe offers a friendly, relaxed environment for people living with dementia and their care partners to connect, unwind, and enjoy meaningful activities together. From fun and creativity to practical advice, DeCafe is all about building cognitive reserve, creating new friendships, and sharing support.
There is no charge for entry, but donations are always welcome!

Run in association with Inside Out, Moving Minds is open to anyone who feels drawn to the idea of creative dance and movement to support their wellbeing and mental health.
Suitable for beginners and improvers alike, the sessions aim to inspire members to move more freely, rhythmically, and expressively, both individually and with others in the group.
The sessions are led by Samantha Moss, an experienced DanceEast dance artist.

Our Dance for Parkinson’s sessions are delivered in partnership with English National Ballet. The sessions bring a unique opportunity for people with Parkinson’s in Ipswich and the surrounding areas to engage with high quality dance classes in our studio. These weekly artistic and creative dance classes have the added benefits of improved mental and physical health and wellbeing, the chance for tea, biscuits, and a chat with like-minded people and most importantly, provide a fun, informal and energising activity suitable for all.
If you would like to find out more information for yourself or if you know someone who would benefit and enjoy attending the classes you can do so by calling a member of our Box Office Team on 01473 295230.
