Support us
We are an independent educational charity and do not receive regular government funding. Every penny we make goes back into the work we do, which includes our cultural engagement plans with our diverse communities.
We empower people through dance education and enjoyment. Dance and movement are fundamental to our wellbeing. While we may not all aspire to be professional dancers, dance and movement give us great joy.
Through our cultural engagement plan, we are increasing our work in communities through our growing programme of outreach and wellbeing initiatives. Our latest campaign, Steps to Success, aims to raise funds to allow students from under-represented groups to take RAD exams.
