We support and advocate for dance across the state, while championing the work of our members and celebrating their contribution to our sector.

As a not-for-profit, we put what we hear from the sector into action. Our membership is shaped by conversations with you, through phone calls, emails, in-person discussions, consultations and surveys. We listened to what you need, where the gaps are and where more support is needed.
