✨ 25 YEARS. SO MANY PEOPLE. SO MANY STORIES. ✨
On Saturday Night 10 October, we’re bringing together 25 years of The Space for one very special Dancers’ Den.
Over the years, thousands of people have walked through our doors. Some came for a class. Some taught here. Some rehearsed, performed, created or worked here. Some practically lived here. And some haven’t been back through those doors for a very long time.
This is your invitation to come back.
⭐ To see who you recognise.
⭐ To reconnect with people you haven’t seen in years.
⭐ To dance with old friends and new ones.
⭐ To remember a few things you’d completely forgotten.
⭐ And to celebrate the incredible community that has grown around The Space since 2001.
There’ll be dancing, music, pop-up performances, freestyle moments and plenty happening throughout the night... but mostly, we want to fill the room with the people who made The Space what it is.
Whether you were here in 2001, joined us last month, or found your way to The Space somewhere in between, you’re part of the story.

Behind the doors of The Space 💜
If you’ve only ever come in for your class and headed straight to your studio, you might not realise just how much is happening around you.
Upstairs, downstairs, around corners and behind doors, The Space is full of studios — and on any given day they’re filled with dancers, teachers, rehearsals, classes, auditions, creative projects and people simply doing what they love.
For almost 25 years, these rooms have seen first dance classes and final rehearsals, new friendships, big ideas, nervous auditions, show preparations, lots of laughter and an enormous amount of dancing.
It’s not particularly quiet.
It’s definitely not boring.
And there’s always music spilling out from somewhere. 💜
Welcome to The Space.
Come and see what’s happening behind the doors.
