Professional Artists
Swindon Dance, enriching lives through dance
Our Professional Artist Programmes aim to support independent professional artists, choreographers, and company directors at various stages in their career development and reflect the different genre in today’s diverse dance ecology.
We also offer use of our dance studios free to any artists, choreographers and companies for research and development and/or rehearsals. We have a number of studios and a studio theatre. To see more about our spaces click here.
Space is booked on a first come first serve basis. For more information send an initial email of interest here.
