About this Event
Join us at sunset for sundowners and dancing into the night!
A joyful Walk in-Dance Out community event held under the giant London Plane tress by the river outside Tide Tables Cafe, nestled cosily under the Richmond Bridge.
Whether you're just watching or taking part as an absolute beginner or avid social dancer, you can enjoy the tasty delights of the cafe as well as the joyful delights of dance.
It's a perfect event for the whole family, including your dog, to enjoy a mix of social Ballroom, Latin and Argentine Tango dancing with expert tuition from local BBC Strictly Come Dancing professional Andrew Cuerden
You're welcome to just sit and watch the dancing or you can donate and take part. Classes are great fun for all levels, but aimed primarily at beginners.
Events are held on New Year's Day and then once a month during the summer from April-August.
Start times are variable due to sunset times but generally events starts one hour before sunset.
Tickets are on donation basis as we want to make this accessible for everyone. If you can afford something to support those who cant, we would be very grateful.
What to wear?

The dance floor is bare earth so be mindful it can either be dusty or a little muddy. Hence please wear normal outdoor shoes that are light and comfortable and you don't mind getting a little dirty. However please feel free to dress up however you like.
Do I need a partner?
No. You can come on your own or with a partner. There is a mix of solo and partner dancing available.
