Join us for an afternoon of Ballroom, Latin & Sequence Dance favourites with Mark Helmore as musical host. Dancers & non-dancers welcome!

Join us for an afternoon of dancing in this beautiful venue or, if you prefer not to dance, come along and enjoy the music and atmosphere!

Back by popular demand!

An afternoon of fun and glamour awaits in this beautiful 1920s seafront ballroom, with dancers of all ages twirling their way around the dance floor.

At this special Afternoon Social Tea Dance there will be an assortment of popular Ballroom, Latin and Sequence Dance favourites from Mark Helmore (Weston's most popular 'music man') who has kindly volunteered as the music host.

The purpose of the afternoon is to raise funds for Age UK Somerset, specifically for their Ageing Well service which delivers a wide variety of movement classes, providing opportunities to stay active and social across Somerset and North Somerset.

The event has been kindly sponsored by Trinity Homecare.

There will be a demonstration of dancing from Age UK Somerset's class participants*, and a raffle with fabulous prizes. Reasonably priced coffee, tea and cake will be available.

Whether you want to join in the dancing or just sit, listen to the music and watch in good company, you will be sure to have a wonderful time.

There is a reduced ticket price for non-dancers.

Come in a group, come with a partner or come on your own!

Everyone will receive warm welcome.

The tickets cost just £8 for dancers and £4 for spectators and can be purchased online here or by calling 01823 345612 (cheque payments accepted by post).
