Dance Base is Scotland’s National Centre for Dance and each week our studios are bustling with 1,200 people who love to dance, laugh, create and move. Many are surprised to learn we are a Scottish registered charity. Still more don’t realise the vast range of charitable work we carry out every year. Annually, we positively impact the lives of 3,000 people across Edinburgh. Our range of participation programmes, workshops and activities are especially designed to suit the needs of people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to access high quality dance activities. This includes disabled people and individuals living with Parkinson’s. Our professional programmes aim to strengthen the dance landscape in Scotland – to make way for upcoming talent to break new ground and create work of artistic excellence for future audiences to enjoy.
