Following the performances there will be a chance to share your feedback and insights in a relaxed setting.

The Yorkshire Dance bar will be open before and after the performances. Age guidance 16+.

Yorkshire Dance aims to be an accessible and inclusive place for all. We create a ‘braver space’, where you feel able to express yourself in a supportive and empowering way. You will be welcomed and treated with respect by Yorkshire Dance staff and we expect and encourage everyone at our events to do the same. Learn more about our Braver Spaces Policy here.

About Pay What You Can

At Yorkshire Dance, we’re committed to making our work affordable for everyone so all our events are Pay What You Can. By donating £5.00 or more you are contributing to the artist’s fee for performing and ensuring everyone in our community can access a ticket they can afford. If you cannot afford £5.00 you are welcome to enter your own amount or simply enter £0 as you checkout.

Once you have booked your ticket your name is added to our register. Just head to the welcome desk at Yorkshire Dance at least 10 minutes before your event to sign in.
