Founded in 1987 by Artistic Director Fergus Early, Green Candle grew from a recognition of the lack of provision for young and elderly audiences identified by the then Greater London Arts.

Green Candle demands many talents from its performers. Not only must they be able to dance but sing, act and teach. The complex blending of these skills and qualities has created a particular cross art form style for the Company's work. This enables Green Candle to be a leader in its field, occupying a unique role and identity within British dance, propelling the art form into the lives of different people and new areas and making it a valuable and life enhancing experience for all.

Green Candle runs Junior Dancers on a Tuesday (4.00pm-5.15pm) - for local children aged between 8 and 13 years of age with the aim of giving them the opportunity to experience creative dance within a safe and fun environment. Sessions are FREE and there are limited places available so please contact Emma at Green Candle for an application form and more information.

Green Candle Senior Dancers - Green Candle Dance Company's over 60s dance group meets at Oxford House on Tuesdays at 10.30-12 noon, and is open to men and women with or without previous dance experience. Again, please contact Emma at Green Candle for more information.
