DANCE // OFFLINE Featured by MOVES Magazine

The Manor LDN’s DANCE // OFFLINE has been featured by MOVES Magazine, spotlighting the artists, choreographers and community behind our live dance showcase at Indigo at The O2.

DANCE // OFFLINE was created from a simple idea: dance deserves to be experienced live.

In September 2025, The Manor LDN took DANCE // OFFLINE from the studio to the stage for its first major live performance at Indigo at The O2, London, bringing together hundreds of dancers, more than 30 choreographers and artists from across the UK and internationally.

MOVES Magazine described DANCE // OFFLINE as showcasing “raw talent and a vibrant community”, highlighting the sense of connection and energy that ran throughout the event. The feature also recognised The Manor's role not only as a space for dance training, but as a place for artists to create and find opportunities to perform.

More than a dance studio

For The Manor LDN, DANCE // OFFLINE represents an extension of what we are building inside our London dance studio.

The Manor exists as a place to train, create, connect and develop artists. DANCE // OFFLINE takes that idea beyond the studio walls, creating a platform for dancers and choreographers to make work, perform and bring their communities together.

MOVES also recognised this wider role, describing The Manor as an “integral pillar” for both training and creating performance opportunities in London.

That connection between dance training, choreography and live performance is at the heart of DANCE // OFFLINE.

A platform for London's dance community

The first edition of DANCE // OFFLINE brought together artists and collectives including Boy Blue, Space To Create, Josh Denyer, House of Jazz, Zaniah Fae, Dean Lee, Homebros and many more, alongside panel conversations exploring creativity, boundaries, safety and autonomy within the dance industry.

For The Manor, the aim has never been to create another traditional dance show.

DANCE // OFFLINE was built to feel live, raw, social and unfiltered — giving audiences the opportunity to experience the energy of London's dance community away from a screen.

“The Manor has become an integral pillar — not only for training, but for creating performance opportunities.”
