Rhythm of the Dance Christmas Special

Rhythm of the Dance returns to the UK with a brand-new Christmas production, playing the Devonshire Park Theatre in Eastbourne on Saturday 14 November. It's a festive take on the show, and it's their first date back on these shores in a while.

Irish in essence, the production is built around some of the show's favourite festive songs, performed live by world-class musicians, star vocalists and world-champion dancers. The rhythms are pulsating and the choreography is slick, performed at lightning speed. It's described as a festive journey, with the music and the dancing taking centre stage.

There's a bit of a narrative arc to it, too: the show is billed as a trip through Ireland's ancient history through to the modern, urban Ireland of today, with an added touch of Christmas magic woven in. It's a wide sweep of the country's dance tradition, from the old to the new, all under one roof.

Rhythm of the Dance has been touring for 27 years now, and this is a new Christmas production rather than a repeat of a previous run. The show starts at 19:30, with doors opening at 19:00, at the Devonshire Park Theatre on Compton Street, Eastbourne BN21 4BW.
