Open contemporary dance classes for people aged 60 and over, led by Debbie Lee-Anthony, with a newcomers session at 12:00.
Dance SIX-0 is back at Salisbury Playhouse for its autumn term, with open classes running every Wednesday from 4 November to 9 December 2026. It's a six-session course, so you've got a good stretch of mid-week mornings to get into it rather than just a one-off. The classes are for people aged 60 and over, and they're led by Debbie Lee-Anthony, who's well into her 60s herself and brings more than 40 years' experience as a dance teacher, performer and choreographer.
The work is contemporary-dance based and set to an eclectic range of music across the decades — Motown and R&B, reggae, world music, jazz and classical all get a look in. There's room for improvisation and individual expression, so it's not about following a set of steps to the letter; you're encouraged to move in your own way. No prior dance experience is required, and if you're new to it, the 12:00 newcomers class is recommended for first-timers.

Beyond the weekly sessions, the classes serve as a route into DANCE SIX-0, the project's performance company, which regularly auditions new members. If you find you've got a taste for it, there's a path from the open classes to performing on stage. The term runs on Wednesdays from 4 November to 9 December, with sessions at 10:15, 12:00 and 13:30 — six in total.
