Founded in 1991, we have reached over 2 million people through residencies, research, training, participation, festivals and touring. Our role in progressing the art form nurtures and champions extraordinary international and UK artists.

In 2017, Arts Council England has announced increased investment for Dance4 as part of its National Portfolio for 2018–2022, that enables Dance4 to realise its international showcasing ambitions and to increase the international reach and connections.
