NorthWestDance works in partnership with Youth Dance England (YDE). We deliver Youth Dance England’s national schemes across Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside.
Youth Dance England is the national organisation that champions dance for children and young people. They work to ensure that dance is available to all, both in and out of school settings. Through a shared vision with the national youth dance network and other partners, their aim is to increase access, raise standards and improve progression routes. Find out more about YDE here
YDE offers advice, training, support and resources to both young people and those who have developed, or are thinking about developing, a career in dance. This support includes the creation of national programmes and events managed by YDE, which range from annual conferences to programmes which seek out the dance talent of tomorrow.
Here you can find out about how you can get involved with YDE projects in the North West such as Young Creatives and the U.Dance NW regional platform
