Plymouth Dance

Connect, Create, Celebrate

Dance delivers… and Plymouth Dance:

• joins up the existing dots to celebrate the variety of dance in the city
• enables people to find out about dance in a way that makes sense to them
• creates and extends city-wide opportunities, using dance as a vehicle for change

The south west region has adopted a networked approach to dance development, with an agency/initiative in each county/sub-region – each operating on a different model but working together as appropriate on shared objectives. This network is convened and led by Dance South West.

Plymouth Dance was established in 2007 and is managed by a Steering Committee with representatives from Dance South West, The Barbican, attik dance, Theatre Royal, Plymouth University, Plymouth City Council, Plymstock Sports Partnership and Arts Council England South West.

Plymouth has a vibrant dance ecology, encompassing Plymouth Theatre Royal, The Pavilions and TR2, the Barbican, Plymouth University, the proposed new Life Centre and attik dance, as well as a range of private dance schools, youth groups, dance teachers, artists and practitioners.
