"Dance UK works with and on behalf of dance. We provide information, publications, networks, forums for debate and conferences, and speak out for dance.

Dance UK began in 1982 in response to demand from many parts of the profession for a unified voice to speak and take action on its behalf." (About us)

REVIEW: This site is easy to navigate and offers news and information on dance, covering many styles and traditions. Its links pages are strong, clearly divided into wide-ranging sections and international. It is a very general site and has a store and a send-a-postcard section.
