Dance in Devon would like to invite you to share the benefit of our wonderful new space at Dartington Hall. For the first time we have spare office space and we have ring-fenced a little time to give directly to you.
Dance Office is a new scheme designed to help manage your dance work, in whatever way you most need, and developing your own skills as we go.
With the move of our main office to Dartington SPACE and new projects and commissions in the pipeline, it is a time of regeneration for Dance in Devon.
Do you have relevant skills, time and passion, to help us drive our organisation forward in times of change and ensure that people in Devon can enjoy dance?

Dance in Devon takes a strong lead on Continuous Professional Development for anyone working or aspiring to work in the dance sector as teacher, practitioner, leader, performer, choreographer, creative artist.
In order to introduce dance to the wider public artists need to be able to access the relevant training and development opportunities to sustain their skills, passion and enthusiasm for dance. Dance in Devon signposts the best support where it is available, and fills in the gaps in areas where it is not available.
