Serving the local community
In 2022, we moved into our new global headquarters on York Road, Battersea, with better facilities for our members, students, teachers, examiners, and staff. But we are also committed to making our new building a home for our local community.
This means making sure that the people of Wandsworth know who we are and what we do, as well as feeling welcome to get involved in our activities and events. We recognise that residents, groups, and organisations are the experts on what works successfully in our area, and so we really want to hear from you.
Please get in contact with Ike, our Community Partnership Builder, if you have any suggestions, ideas or feedback on how we can connect with our neighbours in Wandsworth.

Calling all dance groups and companies in Wandsworth!
We’re inviting you to be part of our community celebration at Wandsworth Fringe 2025!
Join us for our fourth annual Community Day on Sunday, 22 June, from 12 to 4 pm, at our headquarters in Battersea. This special event is a chance to connect, celebrate, and showcase the incredible diversity of dance in our borough. Together, let’s highlight the transformative power of dance in our community!
As part of the day, we’re hosting a dance showcase featuring local artists, companies, and community groups of all styles*, ages, and experience levels under the theme:
Proud of who you are!
Whether you’re an emerging artist or an established company, we want to see your work. Please note that this is a family-friendly event, so all performances should be appropriate for audiences of all ages.
