About Working for Yorkshire Dance as a Freelance Artist

How we recruit freelance artists

Each of our projects requires different specialisms. Most of our projects have a lead artist and an assistant artist. At the start of each new project we run an open callout for artists. To find out about our open call outs sign up to our artist newsletter.

Within our existing projects we have a natural turnover when artists leave. We also occasionally require last minute cover if one of our regular artists is ill.

If you are interested in working on one of our existing programmes please get in touch. Our Project Managers will contact you for a chat if either they need one-off cover or if a long-term role opens up on the project. Please note that although you are welcome to contact us and let us know more about your experience and practice we can never guarantee that we will have work for you.

If you specialise in leading youth dance programmes please contact Ione Barton at ionebarton@yorkshiredance.com who manages Saturday Superstars and Yorkshire Dance Youth.

If you specialise in working with older adults or older adults living with dementia please contact Adie Nivison at adienivison@yorkshiredance.com who manages Dance On and In Mature Company.

If you specialise in working with adults with learning disabilities please contact Ione Barton at ionebarton@yorkshiredance.com who manages Leaps & Bounds. Please note only 3 artists work on this programme so roles do not come up very often.
