The legendary Ragroof Tea Dance returns to the beautiful Brighton Spiegeltent, featuring a DJ playing vintage tunes, glamorous costumes, glorious dance displays, and our trademark Instant Dance Classes.

No dance partners are needed as our gender-neutral approach encourages everyone onto the dancefloor. All welcome – absolute beginners and experienced dancers alike. A chance for everyone to trip the light fantastic!

Two dates for your diary:

7 May: Dance Through the Decades! Since King Charles was born in 1948, British dancehalls have seen a whirlwind of dance crazes, from Jitterbug to Jive, the Twist to the Locomotion, the Mambo to the Macarena – and not forgetting the Saturday Night Fever frenzy of the 1970s and beyond! Don't forget your finest party wear and join us as we dance our way out of the ballroom and into the disco.

28 May: Vintage Hollywood - Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse, Marilyn Monroe, or Rudolph Valentino – Channel your favourite screen idol and honour the heyday of Hollywood glamour as we waltz you through a whirlwind afternoon of Ballroom, Latin and Jazz dance classics.

The special themes inform our dance displays and classes, but each tea dance will also feature a general mix of Ballroom and Latin dance rhythms.

Tea and cake are available to purchase – but the bar will also be open for anyone who fancies a crafty tipple.
