Where dance challenges injustice and changes lives
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 provides cultural and traditional appreciation. Dance offers a wide range of physical, psychological, social and emotional benefits.
