Ragroof Tea Dance: Tropicalia

This is a past event which has now ended.

Everyone is welcome – absolute beginners and experienced dancers alike. A chance for everyone to trip the light fantastic!

The legendary Ragroof Tea Dance returns to the Adnams Spiegeltent – a cornucopia of dancing delights, featuring a DJ playing vintage tunes, glamorous costumes, glorious dance displays, and our trademark Instant Dance Classes in a number of popular dance rhythms. No partners needed – our gender-neutral approach encourages everyone on to the dancefloor.

On Sunday 22 May, it’s Tropicalia! A fabulous focus on vintage Latin rhythms inspired by the Brazilian Bombshell Carmen Miranda and South American carnival. Expect a tropical cocktail of sizzling Sambas, sultry Bossa Novas, and sexy Mambos and Cha Chas. Feel free to dress to impress in your most colourful clothes.

The themes inform our dance displays and classes, but each dance will also feature a general mix of Ballroom and Latin dance rhythms. Tea and cake will be served to your table – but the bar will also be open for anyone who fancies a crafty tipple.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
