About Family Dance Day

Saturday 18 July, 11am-4pm

Join us for a joyful and jam-packed day of outdoor performances and activities created especially for children under 12 and their families. London's most exciting family dance event of the year is completely free.

Performances include: BUG, where performers dressed as giant insects come to life in funny, funky dances inspired by the natural world, complete with live electronic music and playful sound effects; Prisma, a magical dance show inspired by children’s books, bursting with imagination; and finally, No Sugar No Milk, an exhilarating spectacle combining physical theatre, martial arts and circus stunts.

There will also be a special performance by Shuffle, The Place's resident youth dance company.

Plus, there will be interactive dance workshops throughout the day to get your young dancers moving.

No booking is required –just turn up on the day!

Performances

BUG by Lea Anderson MBE

We present - for your entertainment - the spectacular street dances of our awesome insects. Featuring, The Crunchy Cockroach, The Mesmeric Mantis, The Handsome Honeybee, and The Heavenly House Fly!

Brought to you by your buzzin’ hosts; ’BUG’ the drummer, and ‘GUB’ the street dancer.

Created in collaboration with choreographer and performer Lewis Norman and composer/musician Steve Blake, design by Simon Vincenzi.

Prisma by Rotem Weissman

A weird and wonderful dance show inspired by children’s books, created by German-based choreographer Rotem Weissman and presented in the UK in partnership with Goethe Institute.

No Sugar No Milk by TS Crew

An exhilarating outdoor spinoff of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe hit, this physical theatre, martial arts, dance, and circus spectacle channels Hong Kong's cinematic stunts into a vibrant, fixed-site urban adventure. Cha Chaan Teng diner staff transform into street warriors, racing to deliver milky tea, buttery toast, and nostalgic bites!

Blending flips, precision kicks, beatboxing, and acrobatics, they leap over benches, scale walls, and incorporate surrounding elements into thrilling feats.
