Bench Dance #2

You can join one or two Bench Dance workshops on Eastbourne's seafront:

Bench Dance #1 Sunday 11 May 2025, 11:00 - 12:30 Meeting point: Harbour Reach Water Fountain, Eastbourne BN23 6EQ.

Bench Dance #2 Sunday 18 May 2025, 13:00 - 14:30 Meeting point: Holywell Water Fountain, Eastbourne BN20 7XN.

Each Bench Dance session will start with a warm up on and around benches. Yanaëlle will share some of her bench moves with you, then give you time to explore your own bench dance ideas alone or in partners. At the end of the session, she will guide you through stretches supported by the benches. You'll also have the chance to watch a live performance of 'Bench Bustle', her solo performance created on and for Eastbourne's seafront benches (duration: 5 minutes).

What to wear: Trainers (preferably with a thick, supportive sole) and comfortable clothes that fully cover your legs and arms. No shorts or short sleeves please: bench dancing works best when you protect your skin from friction! Yanaëlle recommends wearing a double layer of trousers (e.g. leggings underneath tracksuit bottoms) rather than a single layer.

What to bring: A reusable water bottle. You will be able to fill it up at the fountain. In line with Plastic Free Eastbourne's efforts to eliminate single use plastic, plastic bottles will not be allowed.

This event is part of Eastbourne's Spring Water Festival 2025.
