Step by Step: Tracing Gloucester's Dancing Past

About

Step inside the beautiful Henry Dene Hall for an exhibition of photos, workshops and stories tracing Gloucester's dancing past, gathered from the people who lived it. Discover how Gloucester has moved and meet the communities who kept the city's dance traditions alive.


The day includes two FREE dance workshops!


Dance for Elders, fun and gentle moves, from 11.30am to 12pm
Dances of the Decades, a mixed ages session, from 2pm to 2:45pm, where we will make a combo of the best moves from the decades
Entry to the exhibition is free and for all, 11am to 4pm.


Families are very welcome, with badge making and some fun competitions to part in!
The space is fully accessible, with accessible toilets on site and a few disabled parking spaces. Llanthony will be serving teas and coffees throughout the day, so bring a friend, take your time, and enjoy a wonderful exhibit of memory, movement and Gloucester's dancing heritage.


This project has been funded by Voices Gloucester, with support from the Gloucester Guildhall, Gloucestershire Archives and the Gloucester Dementia Choir.
