Let’s Dance! – the national campaign to inspire everyone to get moving is back with the National Day of Dance. We’re throwing the doors open and inviting you to experience the brilliant benefits of dance.
With activities across the country, Sadler’s Wells in Angel and Sadler’s Wells East in Stratford will be home to performances, workshops, talks and more as we invite you to get up and move with us.
