Summer Recital 2026

A massive well done to all our dancers who took to the Playhouse stage for their Recital last night. You are all outstanding!

Big thanks to the playhouse staff, our class helpers Mariesophie, Megan, and Beth, our teaching assistant Breana and my sister Anna backstage. We couldn’t have done it without you and the support of all our dance families.

Congratulations to each and everyone of you dancers 🩰

Hey! Did you hear?

We are bringing our Primary School Dance Festival to Derry / Londonderry for the FIRST TIME!

For the past fifteen years, the Primary School Dance Festival has provided hundreds of children aged 5 to 11 years in the Greater Belfast area with the opportunity to celebrate dance in a professional theatre.

This year we are excited to invite four primary schools from the Derry / Londonderry area to participate in the region’s first festival. Next Thursday over one hundred children from St Columba's, St Patrick's, St Eithne's and Model Primary Schools will perform on the stage.

We are also delighted Derry Dance Collective will join as guest company for the event following their fantastic performance at Unanimous 2026 in April.

We can't wait for a morning of sharing, moving, making and play.

Photos to come!
