DANCE IN THE DARK

A captivating dance & music show with fun interaction for ages 3+ & grown-ups

Dance in the Dark is a captivating dance and music show with fun interaction for ages 3+ & their grown-ups. Come in your favourite PJs for a slumber party in a giant sleepover den and a night-time adventure into a playful world of imagination. 

As darkness descends, lets giggle as we get ready for bed, play in the spooky shadows, listen to night-time sounds, and feel the blustery wind and drizzly rain on our faces in the storm. We’ll meet friendly nocturnal creatures… some slithering slugs, most magical moths, and fantastical fireflies. Discover the magic of the dark as we whirl and twirl, catch a shooting star and learn how to be brave at bedtime.

 

Brand new show, Dance in the Dark, from Sonrisa Arts is a dreamy multi-sensory feast, co-created with children and families. This inclusive and humorous show features contemporary dance, live music, immersive sound, scents, and audience interaction. 

"It’s no surprise this brand new show was co-created with children and families as it hits all the right notes with enraptured kids and their adult companions alike. This magical adventure into a night-time wonderland is great family entertainment at any time of the day!"

5 STAR Review by Culture Bab, Dance in the Dark Premiere at MAC Feb 25

"packed with sensory delights, engaging movement, and immersive design that creates a cozy haven away from the drizzle - more than a few audience members left the den singing along."
