All aboard the quickstep cruiser! Following the major success of their Mad Hatter’s Tea Dance last September as part of The Bridport Hat Festival, The Lyric Theatre are holding another special Tea Dance for dancers and cake-lovers alike on Sunday 29th April 3pm – 5pm! The delightful afternoon event will be themed to remember the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic and aims to fundraise funds for a disabled-access ramp for the 18th Century building.
Dancers young and old; experienced and novice are invited to come dressed for a first-class, cruise-ship ballroom soiree or for a dunk in the icy Atlantic! Glenn Bayliss teaches a weekly Tuesday evening beginner-ballroom class at The Lyric will be teaching the steps and performing a special Waltz with The Lyric’s co-manager Tessa Bide. Glenn said “This event is going to brilliant. It’s fundraising for a disabled-access ramp to go into The Lyric’s auditorium which is something I’m incredibly keen to support. As a qualified ‘Strictly Wheelchair’ instructor, I cannot wait to start teaching ballroom to Bridport’s less-able-bodied residents and hopefully I’ll be able to do that when we buy a ramp.”
The majestic old theatre is the perfect venue: complete with beautiful flock wallpaper, original parquet flooring and vintage gramophone (that will be providing the music!) it has an unparalleled regal atmosphere.
