May Day! May Day! "To welcome in the summer, To welcome in the May O, The summer is a-coming in, nd winter's gone away O!"

About The Dancing
Although called many things; Ceilidh, Country Dance, Barn Dance, Ceili Dance, Square Dance, Set Dancing - one thing is certain, it's all "traditional" and how people would entertain themselves before TV and raves. We have a live band on stage to provide the music, and a "Dance Caller", who is expert at teaching you all the simple and fun moves. First we learn the dance by walking through it with the caller, then the band strike up, and we dance to the music. You don't need any experience, just willingness to have a go and have fun.

Cut A Shine Monthly Dances
Your monthly fix of endorphins inducing barn dance fun - dance and be silly like they used to do before electricity, TV and Netflix! We're excited to be hosting dances every month at The Round Chapel...

Inclusivity and Diversity
Our dances are All Inclusive, regardless of age, gender, ability, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Although based largely on traditional European and American dance forms, we welcome all cultures and peoples to enjoy these dances and culture. We have tailored our dances to be non-heteronormative and involve everyone. We welcome members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Ticket Prices and Accessibility to The Arts
Low Income Tickets: £10
General Admission: £15
High Income Ticket: £20
Benefactor Ticket: £25

Our ticket pricing might seem complicated, but we want everyone to have access to the arts regardless of your financial situation. Cut A Shine is a not-for-profit dance company, and we want to engage our local community to get involved. If the cost of living crisis is affecting you, choose the cheaper ticket, then, depending on your income levels, pay what you can afford - all the way up to super awesome supporters of the arts!

Ceilidh and Fundraiser

11/10/2024 - 7:30pm to 10:30pm
Location: Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London, WC1R 4RL
Email: admin@bsacp.org.uk

Put your dancing shoes on and help us support Abortion Talk!

Following the 2024 BSACP Conference we are are going to have a reception, ceilidh, and fundraiser for the charity Abortion Talk. This event is hosted in collaboration with our partners Abortion Talk and Doctors for Choice UK.

Abortion Talk is on a mission to encourage individuals and communities to have conversations about abortion to end abortion stigma. Abortion Talk runs the UK’s first and only free, confidential Talkine for anyone who needs a safe space to talk about their abortion experience. They also run workshops for abortion providers, community groups, and activists, giving them time to explore the rewards of their work and the challenges of abortion-related stigma.

This will be a chance to not only support the work of our great partner Abortion Talk but also a great opportunity to network with people working in abortion care, sexual and reproductive healthcare, and advocacy.

The reception will take place at the same venue as the conference (Conway Hall, London) from 19:30 to 22:30. There will be canapés and a bar.

About The Dancing

Although called many things; Ceilidh, Country Dance, Barn Dance, Ceili Dance, Square Dance, Set Dancing - one thing is certain, it's all traditional and how people would entertain themselves before TV and raves. We have a live band on stage to provide the music, and a "Dance Caller", who is expert at teaching you all the simple and fun moves. First we learn the dance by walking through it with the caller, then the band strike up, and we dance to the music. You don't need any experience, just willingness to have a go.

Cut A Shine Monthly Dances

Your monthly fix of endorphins inducing barn dance fun, dance and be silly like they used to do before electricity, TV and Netflix! We're excited to be hosting dances every month at The Round Chapel... why not come to all of them and become an expert! Discounted Pass for those that sign up to all 7 sessions.. email us joe@cutashine.co.uk
