Support Dance City

As a registered charity Dance City depends on your generosity and support. Every gift, no matter what size, enables us to continue to inspire people of all ages from the North East and beyond with the joy of dance.  Every year we engage over 34,000 people with dance of all kinds through a vibrant programme founded on our three cornerstones: Arts, Learning and Health.  

We deliver our charitable work through:  

• A theatre programme showcasing world class performances, from dance made in the North East to national and international work.  

• Outreach for children and young people and families– inspiring a lifelong love of dance and creativity through engagement in schools and communities.  

• An advanced training programme for exceptional children and young people. 

• An artist development programme which supports artists at all stages of their careers to create new work and develop their practice. 

• Creative dance and learning for health & wellbeing focused on older people.
• A vibrant programme of public classes. 

“The best thing about Dance City coming to our schools is that it has given our children the opportunity to shine.  Whether they think they’re good or bad at dancing it has given them an opportunity to express themselves in ways I don’t think they knew. They know they can succeed, and that’s what Dance City’s brought them.”
