information DESCRIPTION

Dance Base is Scotland’s National Centre for Dance. As a creative charity we want to see people across Scotland engaging in dance as an art form, a way to exercise and a way of life. We support Scottish dance artists to develop successful careers and we develop opportunities for dance to be used to support people’s health and wellbeing. We are international in outlook, ensuring that dance in Scotland is globally connected.

We’re proud to support work across Scotland from our purpose-built studios in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Our centre caters for dancers of all ages and abilities, providing an accessible programme of activities that offers a diverse public a sociable and enjoyable way to keep physically fit and develop new creative skills. Our four world-class studios provide dancers with excellent facilities and an inspiring environment in which to dance.

Concessions...

We offer concession rates to those over 60 years, Equity members and full-time students.

At Dance Base we are committed to making our opportunities available to all. Our #ChanceToDance discount scheme offers discount rates to eligible groups, including young people aged 14-26, those seeking work and people with disabilities.

#ChanceToDance prices start at £7.50 and inclusive classes are £5.50.

Inclusive Classes...

Inclusive classes at Dance Base are specifically designed for disabled and non-disabled dancers to participate together in a supportive dance environment. Movements and exercises allow for everyone to take part and contribute equally, with different options available to suit individual needs. This is an opportunity for dancers of all abilities to work with experienced teachers who will support them to participate, have fun, and develop their dance skills.

Carers, support workers, friends and family are all invited to take part (they’ll need to sign in beforehand but there is no charge for participation).

Please get in touch with us on dance@dancebase.co.uk if you’d like to find out more about inclusive classes. We are happy to discuss individual classes or have a conversation about how we can best support specific access needs.
