An interactive, arcade-inspired community dance walk that transforms Portobello’s promenade into a living gameboard of movement, joy, and participation.
Promenade visitors will be guided along a mapped route, stopping at a series of playful dance zones, each inspired by arcade games and historical fairground spots once found along the Portobello seafront.
At each stop, audiences will collect a ‘dance token’ – a short dance move or game. The journey will conclude with a joyful communal dance, where all the collected tokens come together in a celebratory, flashmob-style performance.
We invite people of all ages and abilities to take part – whether by dancing, cheering, or simply following the route and enjoying the show. The promenade becomes both stage and playground, echoing the nostalgia and the vibrant spirit of Portobello’s seaside history.
