The Dance Floor is Black at Sadler’s Wells East

Part of The Music Is Black Festival

Vibes on vibes on vibes


As part of The Music Is Black Festival, presented by East Bank, we’re throwing open our doors for you to come dance with us.

Across four weekends, Sadler’s Wells East will become the social dance hub for the festival.

Saturdays will feature Family Dance events in early afternoon, followed by curated club nights in the evenings. Across the festival four incredible choreographers respond to different themes of the festival celebrating Black British music.

Then join us for Sunday Sessions where DJs, Battles and MCs will bring the good vibes to keep you dancing all weekend long.

Grab a drink or bite from Park Kitchen & Bar while you’re here, and spend your summer weekends with us.
