Pair Dance seeks support for its high profile tour and learning programmes

The mission of Pair Dance is to create opportunities for artists and young people to play, explore and investigate an endless capacity for development through movement and sound.

"Our aim is to demonstrate that talent has no borders, no race, no age, and no limits! Pair Dance | Professional is an award-winning UK based contemporary dance company that quickly caught the attention of the national and international dance community.

"Known for its provocative and daring style, Pair Dance is admired for its unique method and blend of combining original sound scores written, arranged and produced by Richard Leonard and choreographic works by Harriet Macauley, which imbue power, exuberant energy with a delicacy and technical virtuosity which is contained, yet explosive.

"Pair Dance includes an award-winning ensemble of dancers who have previously trained in Europe, UK, Brazil, Greece, Ghana, Turkey, Israel, USA and Spain. Awards include: 15th Masdanza, Lisa Ullman, Bonnie Bird, Art Universe - Austria, Jacobs Pillow Residency Award, a scholarship to attend Purchase conservatory of dance in the USA, and the company was an Olympic Torch Bearer 2004.

"Pair Dance performances include: Edinburgh, Spain, Turkey, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Boston, New York - Joyce Soho and The John Ryan Theatre, The Place - UK, Canada and many more. We believe in diversity and equality through performing and the bringing together of communities from different backgrounds and cultures in the UK to learn, experiment and explore performing arts.

"The aim of Pair Dance| Creative Learning is to bring Arts to a suburban area, making high quality performances, workshops and engagement more accessible to those that need and want to benefit from the arts. We are focused and committed to performance, community engagement and artistic development in a variety of settings.

"We create and promote creativity with performance skills in a positive and vibrant environment. All tutors have a CRB-enhanced disclosure and are first aid certified. Pair Dance | Creative Learning exists at the heart of our organisation based in the east of England - Hertfordshire - and we work in partnership with Community Action Hertsmere, Hertsmere Borough Council, Work Net, Hertfordshire Community Foundation and numerous others.

"We currently have over 345 user groups/members of our Creative Learning programme and aim to double this in one year. Pair Dance have been selected to perform as part of Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2012 and will reach over 12,000 people through digital media online and interactive digital media on stage.

"We are seeking sponsorship for this event and we are looking for a sponsor who would want to invest in this exciting production/company through the endorsement of the sponsor's logo, brand, products or services to a wider audience. Edinburgh Fringe is known as the largest arts festival celebration in the world. The company is seeking sponsorship for this event and its tour both nationally and internationally in the autumn of 2012.

"Pair Dance has an extraordinary outreach programme which was established in 2006 and runs all year round, with ongoing classes in local schools. Alongside this it has further invested in two weekend initiatives. The company seeks to support suburban communities of diversity - in particular BMEs.

"Pair Dance is also seeking sponsorship for its current Creative Learning programme, with a focus on the 2012 celebrations and the Big Dance - a national event".
