Dance class for all ages

How Do You See Me?

Our interactive installation at Bridges of Light on 28 and 29 October.

As you move through the installation, your presence influences the projections, creating an evolving choreographic experience, inviting you to explore, interact and play.

Inclusive

We have weekly dance classes for people with learning disabilities and/or autism in Hereford, Worcester and at Malvern Theatres

We're working with lots of guest artists and we're planning even more co-creation, collaboration and perfomances and projects.

Making Waves dancing outdoors

Making Waves

Making Waves is our performance company for experienced dancers aged 50 and over, who like to create new work and perform, often in site-specific, outdoor spaces.

The company collaborates with other groups, and works with a variety of choreographers. New dancers are always welcome.

Youth dance performance

Youth Dance

We're developing our youth dance programme to support more young people to get into dance.

We have weekly youth classes in Worcester. As well as developing contemporary technique and choreography skills, there are opportunities to perform, work with guest choreographers and dance artists.
