About Dance in the Dark

Come in your favourite PJs for a slumber party in a giant sleepover den and a playful night-time adventure. As darkness descends, giggle as we get ready for bed, explore spooky shadows, listen to night-time sounds, and feel the wind and rain on our faces.

We’ll meet friendly nocturnal creatures, some slithering slugs, magical moths, and fantastical fireflies. Discover the magic of the dark, whirl and twirl, catch a shooting star and learn to be brave at bedtime.

Sonrisa Arts presents Dance in the Dark, a captivating dance and music show with fun interaction for families. Co-created with children, this multi-sensory inclusive show features contemporary dance, live music, immersive sound, and scents.
