Dance
Since 2000, Lincolnshire Dance has changed the face of dance, created a new energy and proved that dancers can earn a living creating, performing and teaching dance in the county.
Testimonials
“It is clear what a fantastic impact dance can have on flexibility, wellbeing, health and general confidence but all too often people are too afraid to take the first step and join a class. This scheme will help break down barriers and enable older people to develop their dance skills while also making new friends, having fun and staying active. It is a simple idea but could have a transformational effect on an older person who is isolated and inactive.”

Lincolnshire Dance would like to invite participants of all ages to take part in a unique dance experience. On Tuesday 14 , Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 February 2012 ‘Mind the (Generation) Gap’ will take place at Marshall’s Yard shopping centre in Gainsborough. Participants will be invited to share their thoughts and experiences, be active, assist with the choreography and have roles in the final performance which will be based on the various stereotypes in society.
This is an inclusive 3 day dance workshop for those of all ages and abilities. In partnership with CfBT (the schools improvement service) Lincolnshire Dance offer you the chance to get involved and have fun work alongside some of the county’s leading dance practitioners to devise a piece inspired by age-related stereotypes and the challenges we all face.
Whether you are a school pupil, a student, a mother or a grandfather, we want you to bring your experiences of life and take part in developing your ideas to create the piece. Why not come as a family and share this unique experience. For just £25 per person (£15 for those under 16 and over 65), you can play your part in interpreting various aspects of the theme.
If you would like to take part or chat further about ‘Mind the (Generation) Gap’ please email info@lincolnshiredance.com or call 01522 811811 and we will be happy to send you an application form. Please note that payment will be required before the event begins and can be paid by cheque, cash or via our website shop!
We hope you can join us!

Lincolnshire Dance and the Dance4Life programme welcomed everyone to celebrate Christmas in Holbeach with a little ceilidh dancing! Last week, 30 local people joined the traditional folk band, ‘The Waggonload of Monkeys’ at the WI for a Christmas celebration with a twist!
Gary Cicinskas, the coordinator for Dance4Life said: “I think it was a fantastic way for the community to start celebrating Christmas. It brings everyone together for great music and dance. I had a brilliant evening and I am really looking forward to the next dance in February.”
Ceilidhs have proven very successful over the summer after it was found that were very few dance opportunities for adults in Holbeach and the surrounding villages. The dances now take place once a month as part of the LD’S Dance4Life programme and have continued to attract the general public who want a taster of something new or to try and improve their fitness.
The Dance4Life programme aims to improve the health and wellbeing of adults through quality dance opportunities regardless of age or level of ability TheDance4Life programme, is funded by the ‘Health and Wellbeing Fund’, is in partnership between Lincolnshire County Council and Lincolnshire NHS and gives local focus to the government’s Change4Life initiative.
The dances take place on the first Monday of every month at the WI Hall on Park Street. The celidih begins at 7pm and finishes at 9.30pm. Refreshments are also included in the admission price. (Tickets cost £3.50 per adult and £2.50 for concessions. Under 16’s are welcome for free when they attend with an adult.)
