Best Worst Dances returns this December!

Wednesday July 29th 2026Share page


After a hugely successful series of preview performances, Best Worst Dances returns to balletLORENT this December for three unforgettable evenings celebrating the dances we all do when no one's watching.


Last year's audiences described the experience as "captivating, joyful, magical," "uplifting, funny and inspiring," and "extremely moving and life-affirming." Others called it "nostalgic, poignant and beautiful," while many simply summed it up as "amazing, fabulous fun."


Set beneath a glittering mirror ball, this joyful and immersive production brings together professional dancers and local people in an evening of music, laughter, memories and movement. Whether you're the first on the dance floor or someone who saves your best moves for the kitchen, Best Worst Dances is a celebration of the moments that connect us all.


This isn't a traditional theatre performance. Enjoy a drink from the pay bar, soak up the atmosphere, and when the performance ends, the dance floor opens for everyone. Stay, dance, chat and celebrate with friends in a relaxed and welcoming setting.


If you're looking for something a little different this Christmas, audiences say Best Worst Dances is "joyful, immersive" and "vibrant"a unique festive night out that's guaranteed to leave you smiling.
