Join us outside the Goodman Dance Academy as we unveil a tribute to Len Goodman.
After a successful professional dancing career and decades of teaching dance in Dartford town centre, Len Goodman gained worldwide fame as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing and on Dancing With the Stars in the US, before passing away in 2023, aged 78.
As a celebration of his life and contribution to the town, Dartford Borough Council has commissioned an interactive artwork that will encourage visitors to dance while reminding them of some of Len’s best quips. The artwork will be installed outside the Goodman Dance Academy in Market Street, which Len first opened in 1973.
Artist Adrian Riley will be joined by Len's family and friends, including his fellow Strictly judge Craig Revel-Horwood.
Following the unveiling at 11am, there will be a chance to hear from guests in Brewery Square. We will then head to the opening of a special exhibit on Len's life and Adrian's artwork at the Sir Peter Blake Gallery.
