Dance in Devon

The County's dance development agency celebrates, enhances and encourages dance and dancers throughout the County, increasing opportunities for as many people as possible to take part in, watch or create dance.
 
 
After the success of 2008, Dance in Devon has co-ordinated a Devon-wide dance festival again for 2009.  The festival aims to promote high quality dance experiences throughout Devon during June & July, to celebrate and to raise the public awareness of the quality & variety of dance happening throughout Devon and to reach an even wider range of audience and participants, to add value to your dance event.
