Part of the National Let’s Dance campaign with Angela Rippon
We have joined forces with Ipswich School of Dancing to get everyone in Ipswich dancing with the rest of the UK on Sunday 2 March. Between 10.00am – 3.00pm, both venues will be throwing their doors open for anyone to take part in FREE workshops, meet the teams and enjoy some refreshments. From Ballroom to Ballet, Hip Hop to Contemporary, you can choose to get involved in just one workshop or, if you’re feeling adventurous, try them all.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
You can find our timetable for the day below. There is no need to book, just turn up in comfy clothes you can move in, and get dancing!
Capacity for all workshops are limited. We recommend you arrive early to avoid disappointment.
LET’S DANCE!
Let’s Dance is a national campaign initiated by Angela Rippon to inspire everyone in the UK to embrace dance as a way to improve their health, connect with others, and have fun. Their mission is to get more people dancing together, regardless of age, fitness level, or experience.
