Established in 1982, Yorkshire Dance is a regional charity. We support communities and artists across the region from our home in the heart of Leeds’ Cultural Quarter.

Artistic Statement

We want to change the world and work with dance makers from all backgrounds who share this desire. We are excited by the diversity of dance in all its forms and styles and we want to support artists who take risks and challenge ideas about what is allowed and what is beautiful. We are interested in where dance intersects with other art forms, recognising the richness of interdisciplinary collaboration. 

We’re passionate about environmental sustainability and social justice and want to support artists who ask questions of themselves, their work and of the world. We believe in dismantling hierarchy both within the creation of dance and within our programming.
