Schools Dance Festival: Sun, Sea and Show time

Join us for an evening of inspiring dance celebrating the spirit, history, and vibrant community of Lowestoft.

Local schools will be showcasing performances that bring our coastal town to life through movement—from its maritime heritage to the energy of its people today.

This celebration of Lowestoft through dance has been organised by the North Suffolk Sport & Health Partnership, National Literacy Trust in Suffolk, and supported by Lowestoft Rising. The Marina Theatre is proud to host this creative evening of pivots, step-ball changes, and more, as our children celebrate their hometown and educate the audience on why Lowestoft is such a special place to live, learn, and grow.

Featuring dances from Albert Pye, Gunton, Poplars, Ravensmere, St Benet’s, Ringsfield, Brampton, Bramfield, Pakefield
