Inspired by Bexhill’s 1907 motto of Sol et Salubritas (Sun and Health), and the Pavilion’s modernist heritage of “healthy mind, healthy body” we have invited local teachers from different health and wellbeing practices to offer fun movement activities on the terrace. Each session will last 45 minutes and you are invited to make cash donations to your teacher’s selected charity on the day.
The day will finish with a mass dance event led by Grounded Movement founders and London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony choreographers Temujin and Sunanda. Dance Through The Decades is a joyous social dance experience, from Charleston and Lindy Hop to Funk Social Dances and Hip Hop.
