Hull Dance works with lots of different organisations to make our offer the best that it can be
Our partners are special organisations that we work with over a long period of time to develop positive changes to dance, and who can have access to dance, within the City
Hull Dance started life as an initiative of the Arts Development Team of Hull City Council. As an independent organisation we work closely with them developing an inclusive and collaborative approach to dance development across the City.
Hull Dance is working in partnership with TIN Arts to develop 'Move Together' - an inclusive and accessible youth dance framework working with a range of partners from across Hull leading to more opportunities for young people to participate in high quality dance in education and community settings.
Hull Dance and HICA are partners embedding creativity, movement and dance across the service of care and support solutions offered by HICA for older people and people with a learning disability to enhance the wellbeing of employees and clients.
We all need a sounding board to help develop our ideas. We are lucky at Hull Dance to have two internationally respected artists who work with us as Artistic Advisers.
