Dancing Shoes

Following a raucous run at the Traverse in December 2025, Dancing Shoes returns with heart, humour and high-energy moves.

Donny’s life has been shaped by addiction and isolation, but an unexpected friendship with Jay and Craig begins to change everything. When videos of Donny’s private dancing routines suddenly go viral, newfound attention threatens the bond they have built. A joyful and deeply moving story about connection, recovery and the courage to let yourself be seen.

This will be a special stripped-back version of the hit show, reimagined for Shedinburgh in partnership with Traverse Theatre.

The Traverse is funded by Creative Scotland and The City of Edinburgh Council
