For twenty years Union Dance has enriched the diversity of cultural heritage by creating inspirational, collaborative arts experiences for the widest possible audience.

'[Union Dance] builds a bridge across the dance of the studio and the dance of the streets', The Guardian.
Union Dance tours to small and middle-scale theatres throughout the UK, returning to many venues time and again.
