A new voice championing dance across Tees Valley
TeesDance is a leading sector support organisation for dance in the Tees Valley, providing a world where everyone has access to high-quality, vibrant, diverse dance experiences – no matter who you are or where you live.
We increase equality of opportunity across our diverse communities by removing barriers to access dance. With the power to enhance the qualities of life and achieve social change, dance brings communities together, providing cultural and traditional appreciation. Dance offers a wide range of physical, psychological, social, and emotional benefits.
“Everyone deserves equal access to high-quality dance experiences that are compelling, coherent, and progressive, helping people to live happier and healthier.”
—Amy Swalwell, Director
Everyone can dance, but not everyone gets the chance
We are building and strengthening the dance workforce so artists can flourish and everyone; children, young people, adults, and seniors, can experience dance in all its diverse forms and settings, with deep and lasting effects. We are developing a bold dance sector where creative talent is met with opportunities that we provide.
