Making Waves

Making Waves is our performance company for experienced dancers aged 50 and over, who like to create new work and perform, often in site-specific, outdoor spaces.

The company collaborates with other groups and works with a variety of choreographers. Sessions are creative, playful, sometimes challenging and always inclusive.

The company's dancers say they feel great joy in the work they do - and enriched, empowered, uplifted and inspired.

Making Waves is a safe, supportive, creative group, and new dancers are always welcome.
