The Foundation for Community Dance

The Foundation for Community Dance is a UK-wide charity, established in 1986, to support the development of community dance. We want to make dance matter, so we work for the development of dance for all.

We believe that dance can transform the lives of individuals, groups and communities and that everyone has the right to experience dance regardless of where they live, their age, gender, race, disability, economic circumstance or culture.

Central to our concerns are access to, participation in and progression through quality dance experiences as a creative activity, and through arts activities in community development and regeneration, health, social inclusion, education and learning.

Through leadership and advocacy, we raise the profile of, and campaign for, community dance to reveal its impact and support the development of more opportunities for people to dance; we provide information, advice and guidance for dance artists, organisations, students and communities about community dance and the issues they face; we support dance leaders to get better at what they do through professional development and networks; and undertake the strategic development of community dance for new audiences and under represented communities.

You can find out more about all of the above by looking at our Current Projects and Programmes and Our Online Information Services. You will soon be able to download the information sheets: 'History of the Foundation for Community Dance', and our 'Vision, Mission and Aims' from Resources and Advocacy Materials.

The Foundation for Community Dance has been a membership organisation since its formation - a hub of professionals and supporters - representing 4,400 people including dance artists and teachers, dance-makers, companies, organisations, agencies and venues; universities and training establishments; funding bodies and local authorities. Visit Membership Benefits to find out about becoming a member of the Foundation for Community Dance.

We are based in the city of Leicester in the East Midlands of England, but operate nationally and internationally. We regularly work in partnership with other dance and other art-form organisations, and with partners outside of the arts on areas of shared concern such as health and disability. The Foundation for Community Dance receives regular funding from Arts Council England, and project funding support from a variety of other funding agencies.
