The UK dance scene is full of exciting new work - whether dance drawing on the street scene, Asian Kathak dance fusions or sleek contemporary ballet, there is a vast range of styles to enjoy. So if you want to find out more about UK dance then you've come to the right place.
We work across all forms of dance - from contemporary dance and live art to more classical forms. We work with our overseas network of arts managers and partners to plan, resource, deliver and evaluate high-impact arts projects involving UK artists. Our aims are to promote new images of the UK, to establish long-term partnerships abroad and to attract young adult audiences.
