Our outdoor performance this year is a Backyard Boogie. From buzzing bumblebees to a mad and marvellous tea party we invite you to come and celebrate the joys of dancing outside in our own back garden. 

This is a special opportunity for the young people who attend dance classes at Falmouth University's Penryn Campus. As we spend the next few months outside exploring dancing in nature, using our surroundings as both inspiration and a welcome new challenge we look forward to sharing this wonderful day with you all.
