Company of Elders is a dance and performance group for people aged 60 and over which proves it's never too late to start dancing. Established in 1989, Company of Elders is an offshoot of Sadler's Wells' weekly Lilian Baylis Arts Club.

The company rehearse weekly at Sadler's Wells under the direction of Simona Scotto. The 30 performers may well have retired but they have a wealth of energy. Being a member of the Company of Elders fulfils a creative need and they attract a range of choreographers.

UK performances have been diverse as the Houses of Parliament, Duckie Cabaret in Vauxhall and The Royal National Theatre. International performances include the prestigious Venice Biennale Dance Festival and most recently, Rotterdam. The Company of Elders featured on BBC2's Imagine series in July 2009.

The Company of Elders is full with an extensive waiting list. We do offer weekly over 60s outreach classes in Islington and you can sign up to our mailing list by emailing us.
