The main auditorium has seats which stack up, creating a nice large wooden dance floor for the salsa event. I parked at the Bedford Rd car park, which cost £1 for the whole evening if you arrive after 6pm There was a bar selling drinks though it was classy of them to also make jugs of cold tap water available for free. The toilet facilities were good and there was a self serve cloakroom The salsa party night itself was fantastic - 3 levels of classes by Gio and guest teachers, then lots of time to freestyle and practise those moves and the highlight of the evening - a show by Miles Chapman and Lorna Arnold, the UK Junior Latin Dance champions. Just when you think you can dance, it's amazing to see how much higher the standard is for real dancers! Good venue, great evening!

It is quite a small theatre which I think adds to it's charm as you seat fairly close to the stage which is a big advantage when attending with small children or when listening to a speaker. It is situated very centrally in Guildford and is easily accessed by train, bus and car. It also is set right on the River Wey so there are great views too from the bar area!

My name's Yee Gan and I'm a Strictly Come Dancing fan. So, I was very happy to receive tickets to…read moreMidnight Tango for Christmas from my friend who I go dancing with Midnight Tango is the dance show headlined by 2 of Strictly's stars, Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace. Set in a dusky South American bar, the production showcases this couple's signature Argentinian tango though there were interesting variations set to samba, waltz, rumba and cha cha cha rhythms Supported by an able dance troupe, there were several great ensemble numbers but the best dances came with Vincent and Flavia's couple spots, epitomised by the grand Argentine tango finale and their rumba-esque love dance in the second half. Their years together as a dance partnership is evident from the chemistry and some of the intricate intertwining legwork was amazing At the heart of the story was a touching love story between the grouchy barman and his long-suffering wife who both finally overcame their years of 'familiarity breeds contempt' marriage to re-discover their love through dance. They also shared the show's best comic moments and as we're constantly reminded in Strictly, a good dance should tell a story and the entire story of the show is conveyed without any dialogue What made the show were the rhythms and tunes produced by the live band. Cleverly introduced at the start of the show by adding the instruments one by one, the audience could appreciate the increasing layers of complexity as the violin was joined successively by the accordion, piano, double bass and percussion. Toe tappingly good music aided by the vocal soloist This show will continue on its UK show next week

The Pavilion Theatre is a mainstay of the Brighton theatre scene, and well worth a visit. Their…read moreshows are run through the Brighton Dome, so of a consistently high quality, without costing the earth to go see. A frequent venue for fringe theatre all year round, as well as big events during the Brighton Festival and Brighton Comedy Festival, the Pavilion Theatre is an great alternative to the above-a-pub theatre Brighton is famous (notorious?) for. Most shows at the Pavilion are inexpensive, and it is normally used more smaller comedians or companies, even some ambitious amateurs. The venue's policy about what goes on seems to be quite open: even smaller shows are given a chance. This may be the Dome's reach-out to the local theatre scene, and it couldn't be a more fitting fringe theatre space. The stage is large and open, as deep as it is wide, which makes it ideal for plays and performers who like a nice big stage space: dancers, plays with large casts, etc. With a large number of raked seats, the Pavilion Theatre can seat more than a traditional fringe theatre, making it ideal for some of the larger acts as well. This balance is held nicely, with various acts throughout the year using it appropriately: there's clearly a good management policy behind this space. I have seen some great shows here, and recommend everyone to have a look-see whats on! Their programme is varied enough that there should be something for everyone, and nothing really beats live entertainment. With a nice little bar at the front as well, there's really nothing to complain about: great venue, great shows, great evening!

The Theatre Royal is one of Brighton's most venerable institutions. Set in the centre of the city,…read morejust a stone's throw from the Royal Pavilion, it has been at the heart of its artistic life for two hundred years. Opened in July 1807, the theatre has had a colourful history, to say the least. It suffered various financial problems in its early years, an actor by the name of Henry John Nye Chart took over the management and developed a flourishing programme over the ensuing twelve years. He then bought the theatre himself, and embarked on an expansion and refurbishment programme, giving us the theatre we see to-day - now a grade II listed historic building. Nye Chart died in 1876, but his wife Ellen Elizabeth Nye Chart kept the theatre going, introducing both matinees and the traditional Christmas pantomime. When she died in 1892, she was treated as a local celebrity, although her ghost is still said to haunt the building, as the mysterious Grey Lady. The interior is very traditional, with seating in stalls, two circles and an upper gallery, with boxes either side. The decoration is suitably high Victorian and plush, although the seats can be a little restricted for some modern audiences. The stalls have level access and there is a disabled toilet, and the theatre welcomes guide dogs. Captioning is available for those with hearing disabilities. (Those with special needs are advised to book in advance and inform the booking office of their requirements). The theatre bar is located separately, in the Colonnade Bar, immediately next to the main entrance. The repertoire is extraordinarily varied, with traditional classic theatre such as Shakespeare and West End transfers; musicals; comedies; dance and special events and, of course, a Christmas Pantomime season. The list of actors and actresses who have played here is an exhaustive list of the best of British theatre over the last 50 years. It is truly one of the foremost provincial theatres in the country.
