Time Out says

Islington’s hallowed Sadler’s Wells might be London’s only dedicated major dance theatre, but that’s set to change in 2025 when its 550-seat sister venue Sadler’s Wells East opens in Stratford. It’s a boon not only to dance lovers but also to London: considering the number of major theatres the city has, modern dance struggles to get much of a foothold in this city, with the big ballet companies by far the most visible aspect of the genre. A whole second Sadler’s is a serious cultural statement, more or less doubling the amount of interesting contemporary dance work appearing on London stages.

What’s on

Family Freestyle

Got a little one with restless twinkle toes? These free dance classes at Sadler’s Wells East – the famous performing arts venue’s new Stratford-based theatre – will help them channel their energy into a wide range of dance styles. Led by professional dance artists, the workshops made for children aged two to four will help develop their co-ordination, creative thinking and social interaction – all with as much involved as possible. 

Skatepark: Mette Ingvartsen

Dancers and skateboarders will come together in this first of its kind production that will see the new Sadler’s Wells East transformed into a skatepark. Not only will this be an electric amalgamation of dance and skating – with the majority of the cast being dancers – but local young skaters were also selected to take part after a series of workshops held in February. Expect lots of energy at this one.
