With the return in August of the star studded main stage to Brighton Pride, featuring an impressive line up of international artistis including Alison Moyet, the original Sugarbabes vocalists, Stooshe and Paloma Faith playing a special DJ set, it could be easy to forget that this year’s festival is set also to be one great big dance fest filled with dancing queens!

There have never been so many dance zones and so many outstanding DJ’s at Pride. In fact the festival on Preston Park alone will feature in excess of 30 DJ’s meaning that you can dance and shake your thing all day whatever your musical tastes or age.
Dance highlights include the brand new Bears Zone with an alfresco dance area featuring DJ’s  Severino, HiFi Sean, Micky Galliano, Phil Lovedisco and Chris Barker, among it’s unique DJ line up.
The popular Women’s dance tent hosted by the official Pride Gaydar girls weekender has a fantastic line up of all female DJ stars including Missy B, Amy B and Sandra D alongside a packed day of women’s dance DJ allstars.
One of the main attractions for dance enthusiasts on the park is always the Calabash tent featuring a host of top DJ’s headed up by Rob Ninebob as well as Affy and Ali Go Bang.
Lovers of line dancing will be pleased to know that the Cactus Club will be hosting the line dancing tent featuring plenty of western dancing fun for everyone including a very special wheelchair line dancing lesson and session.
The mecca of all things dance and the main focus for dance orientated Pride goers is always the Wild Fruit dance big top that boasts amazing dancers, performers and top production values as well as world class DJ’s including The Freemasons with Steve Pitron, Seamus Haji, Maze & Masters and Dulcie Danger.
