Yorkshire Dance
Established in 1982, Yorkshire Dance is a regional charity which works through dance to create happiness, health, connection and change.
We run over 1.5K dance sessions each year for communities in West Yorkshire, support over 200 dance artists and we host 3 biannual pay-what-you-can festivals. All from home in the heart of Leeds’ Cultural Quarter.
We are part of Arts Together because we know art can create deep connections between different people.

Hannah Robertshaw
I’m Hannah and I’m the Creative Director at Yorkshire Dance, which means I get involved in most of what we do, in particular our work with communities. I trained as a dancer and I’m passionate about bringing people together. I believe that everyone has an inner dancer just waiting to be unleashed!

Hi I’m Adie, I’m the older people’s producer which means I manage programmes that encourage older adults to get involved in dance. We know dancing makes us feel fantastic, and is a great way to be creative, have fun and get moving! Fun fact: I’ve had a variety of potato (grown in Scotland) named after me!

I’m Ione, I'm the Youth and Community Producer, meaning I manage projects for young people and adults with additional needs. I’d love to get as many people as possible involved in dance! My earliest memory of the arts is crying after watching ‘Cats’ at the theatre as I didn’t want it to end!
