The Adult DanceProject

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be part of a dance company, create choreography and perform in a professional theatre to a live audience? Well, here’s your chance to find out! This Summer we invite you to take part in The Adult Dance Project at Smikle Dance Studio and work towards an original performance piece.

The project will be made up of around 12 adult participants who will collaborate and work creatively together between April to July alongside teacher and choreographer Lee Smikle to create an original devised movement performance that will be performed at The Old Market in July.

The Adult Dance Project is open to adults who enjoy moving, being creative and are interested in taking part in a unique collaborative community performance experience.

Participants may already attend a class at Smikle Dance Studio, however; this is not a requirement. Adults from beginners to advanced levels of movement experience are welcome to take part and those maybe returning to dance after many years away.

Participants will first take part in an intensive weekend together playing creative movement games and developing choreography and the performance themes. Over the following weeks, project participants will then meet on set Saturday afternoons to rehearse and develop the work. (see dates below)
