A Dance for Us
Fitzroy House Lewes, Lewes, BN7 2AD
Thursday 1st October 2026
Please note that the show has gentle references to pre and postpartum experiences.
This work was developed in collaboration with babies and their carers.
A new dance and cello performance for babies 0 - 12 months and their carers by Katie Dale-Everett Dance. ‘A Dance for Us’ is a restorative, immersive experience where carer and baby can be soothed and inspired, celebrating the unique relationship forged in the first year of life. Experience the magic of live cello alongside playful movement and come together with others who have had similar recent shared experiences. Prior to the performance, there will be the option to take part in a short restorative movement session as a way to arrive in the space, connect with your babies and also perform movements that we often do in isolation at home with others experiencing similar things to them.
Tickets for all our events are offered on a sliding scale, with General Admission tickets capped at £15 for the most expensive events. We also offer a limited number of Open Doors tickets capped at £5 to ensure that our events are accessible to those on lower incomes (sorry if these are no longer available for your chosen event). Pay It Forward tickets are for those who can afford to give a little more, supporting artistic experiences for the local community by subsidising lower ticket prices for all. There are no checks at the venue so please select the ticket price that is appropriate for you, and thank you for supporting live performance and the artists who make it happen.
“Engaging, moving, welcoming, sweet, tender, caring. I was moved to tears in the collective slow dance. It touched me deeply.”
“He is only 10 weeks old so I didn't expect him to ‘focus’ on what was happening but I was surprised by how engaged he seemed.”
“I feel lighter than I did coming in here today”
“You held the space so safely and this was clear in the pre-communication. You understand that you don’t always need to give them something to do. You noticed that the baby wanted to see the lights and you didn’t take it away but offered it gently and so many mothers felt safe to feed their child.”
