Dance SIX-0 Spring Term 1

Dance SIX-0 returns to Salisbury Arts Centre for its Spring Term 1 run, with classes held every Wednesday from 6 January to 10 February 2027. There are three sessions to choose from each morning — 10:15, 12:00 and 13:30 — so you can pick the one that fits your day best.

It's a contemporary dance class led by Debbie Lee-Anthony, who's well into her sixties herself and brings more than 40 years of experience as a teacher, performer and choreographer. The music is a big part of it: she pulls from a wide range of decades and styles, from Motown and R&B to reggae, world music, jazz and classical, so you'll be moving to a fair bit of variety rather than just one sound. No prior dance experience is needed, and the classes suit all abilities. They're attended mainly by women, though men are welcome, with members ranging from their early sixties to the mid-eighties. If you're not sure about committing, first-timers are encouraged to drop in for a free taster session.

There's more to it than just the weekly class, too. These open sessions double as a route into Dance SIX-0 the performance company, which is led by Artistic Director Rosalind Conlon. If you find you've got a taste for it, there's a path from the studio to the stage.

The whole thing sits within the Take Part strand at Salisbury Arts Centre, run by the Wiltshire Creative team. They work with local artists and practitioners to build confidence, self-expression, wellbeing and social connection, and this is one of the ways that comes together. So, if you've been thinking about getting back into dance or just want to try something new with people around your own age, it's a good place to start. Wednesdays, 6 January to 10 February, at 10:15, 12:00 and 13:30 at Salisbury Arts Centre.
