"I had heard some amazing things about Ragroof Theatre Tea Dance productions
and was not in any way disappointed. The dancing was entrancing and the cast
was approachable, stunning and at all times professional. Ragroof Theatre Company
certainly exceeded my expectations and were one of the main highlights of the
event for me. I will most certainly book again."
Jacky Blackwell | Peacehaven Festival Programmer
“The whole atmosphere was calm and inviting and friendly
and it was obvious that a lot of people spent a lot of time at the dance floor
area.
I wanted to thank you for the enormous contribution you made to the success of our new event last Sunday - the area you were in became very special and there were people on the park we had never seen at our outdoor events before.
We had written to all the tea dance groups in the area telling them about you and this, together with the quality of your work, obviously did the trick.
Thank you also for sharing your space with other local performers - it means a lot to them to be able to present their work in that kind of forum and you gave them a great performance space.
What you did has had a real knock on effect - one group wants a tea dance in the marquee at the traditional Flower and Vegetable Show... So, one event, with a massive impact!”

(Tell us one thing about the show that really impressed you) “The ability of the performers to put the participants at ease and engage them in dancing.”
