Free dance performance at multiple locations in Ramsgate.

Now in its fifth year, Doorstep Duets was originally created in 2021 by New Adventures and Farnham Maltings as a response to social isolation. Offering free opportunities for local communities to enjoy world-class dance performances on their street, in their park, or through local community organisations.
This year, they have created a brand-new short piece, My Feet Don't Quite Touch the Floor, with choreographer Shelby Williams to tour throughout the South-East of England during July 2025. The creation of this piece is overseen by New Adventures artistic team Kerry Biggin and Etta Murfitt in collaboration with company dancers.
About My Feet Don't Quite Touch the Floor
Have you ever let your mind wander? Lost in a daydream, what did you wonder? Meet Reverie. They know this is where they belong, but it doesn’t feel quite ‘right’. Should they sit on their hands until this feeling passes? With a growing sense of curiosity, Reverie must walk away from their dreams and ideas or find the courage to embrace them.
This imaginative story is inspired by the experiences of two legendary dancers at the beginning of their own dance journeys. It was their ability to seek their own paths and let their minds wander that inspired their extraordinary careers as dancers, makers and creative leaders. However, this remarkable skill was not always seen in such a positive light.
When we embrace wonder, we unleash possibility and creativity. What colour is your imagination?
My Feet Don't Quite Touch the Floor will be performed throughout Ramsgate at the following times:
Bring friends and family to experience free, world-class dance on your doorstep...
