Together In Time Tea Dance – 20th April 2026 🫖

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent Together In Time Tea Dance, lets take a look at some amazing photos from the event…

On Monday, 20th April 2026, we hosted our 4th Together in Time Dementia Friendly Tea Dance at Quinton Methodist Church. It was a lovely afternoon filled with dancing, chatting and of course, the best bit, gorgeous scones! A huge thank you to everyone who attended. It was lovely to see so many faces from our Keep Dancing community, as well as welcoming some new faces too!

We were also delighted to see some people join in the event in a seated capacity, which we actively encourage. Taking part while seated ensures that everyone, regardless of mobility and confidence, can enjoy the music, feel included, and be part of the shared experience.

A huge thank you to Crusty Cottage for their yummy cream tea! Fancy some more of their delicious bakes? Follow their Facebook page here The Crusty Cottage Craft Bakery Quinton. | Birmingham | Facebook

A massive thank you to the volunteers from OCS Global Facilities Partner for making sure our event ran smoothly, we couldn’t have done it without you!

The highlight for many of our dancers was our maypole dance, the maypole symbolises renewal and the celebration of spring which was perfect for our April tea dance!
