Dance4 is an international centre for the development of extraordinary 21st century dance.

We are an internationally recognised, experimental dance organisation with a strong regional programme and a unique voice in the UK dance sector. Dance4 supports international and UK artists who are interested in the development of dance.

Dance4 has a strategic role for dance development across the East Midlands working with a range of partners, venues and individuals to create exciting opportunities to bring dance artists and communities together.  Our artists programmes include residencies, research, performances and the biennial Nottdance Festival.  Our regional work for children and young people’s dance includes U-Dance platforms supporting young people from across the region to perform and our Centre For Advanced Training (CAT) which nurtures aspiring, talented young dancers. 

In 2012 Dance4 is also lead for the region’s Big Dance Hub partnership, part of the official Cultural Olympiad, which will feature exciting dance events open to anyone between May and September 2012.
