Dance North is on a mission to promote and produce brave and imaginative events that offer people from across the globe to just down the road new opportunities to experience dance. Our reputation is built upon a potent combination of risk-taking, quality and a commitment to challenging expectations. Whether we’re introducing rural audiences to trailblazing contemporary dance, supporting experimental dance practices, or initiating local community dance activities, we see ourselves as leaders in our field. We are based in the north of Scotland on the stunning Moray Firth coast, near the coastal village of Findhorn and a 2-mile long peninsula amongst beautiful beaches and woodland. Our new office is in the Findhorn Eco-Village, known worldwide as a major international centre for sustainable living. The organisation has a strong regional, national and international profile as an independent arts organisation and a sixteen-year track record of presenting successful performances and workshops by acclaimed inter/national dance artists, in this beautiful and remote part of Scotland. Dance North is a Community Interest Company (CIC) and a Regularly Funded Organisation within Creative Scotland’s Regular Funding Portfolio and account managed by Highlands and Islands Enterprise. Our artistic policy runs through our three main strands of activities: our participatory and workshop programme, our performance programme, and our professional training and development programme. These include: - Rise Dance Festival - Dance performances and events - Participatory Dance Programme - Screendance - Professional training - Commissioning and residences - International artists and cultural exchanges - Management services - Sector and network development
