PEOPLE are being offered the chance to have a seat named after them or their loved ones in the city’s newest dance studio.

Individuals and businesses are being invited to sponsor one of the 108 auditorium seats in a dance studio at the new Circus Street development.

One of the first seat sponsors at the Brighton studio is Albion legend, Dick Knight.

The life president of Brighton and Hove Albion, who led the campaign for the Seagull’s new home, said: “ Every great city needs a stadium, and every great city needs a place to dance – that’s why I’m putting my name to a seat at The Dance Space.”

Organisers say that for a donation of £450 sponsors can name the seat,

gift or dedicate it to a loved one, and embellish it with their favourite quote.

The Dance Space is on course to open in Summer 2020.

Andrew Whitlaw, head of development at South East Dance, says: “The Dance Space will be the place to get closer to dance in the south east, a place for everyone to have a go at a class or workshop, and to watch world class professional performances.”
