Following the success of last year’s Adult Dance Performance Project, we’re excited to launch this year’s project and begin another inspiring journey together. Below you’ll find all the key dates for the creation process, rehearsals, and performances.
We’re looking forward to sharing another brilliant experience with our adult dancers. Championing: creativity, community, and connection, all leading towards our performance at the Origins Dance Festival 2026 at The Old Market in Brighton.
If you’re interested in joining us, please take a look at the project dates below and then complete the sign-up form.
Before signing up, please take a moment to check that you’re available for all compulsory creation, rehearsal, and performance dates. When you register, you’ll have the opportunity to let us know in advance about any additional dates you’re unable to attend. We truly understand how busy life can be, and our aim is to make this project work as smoothly as possible alongside everyone’s schedules. You’ll also be able to choose between our two payment options.
If you’re new to Smikle Dance Studio and interested in joining the project, we recommend getting in touch with us first, or trying a few classes, to ensure our style and the way we work feels like a good fit for you.
