£72,000 from Arts Council England, showing their support for our new dance project, which will find the highest quality dance reaching into the farthest corners of the county.

Targeting specific communities North, South, East & West with wrap-around dance excitement for a whole year, the Devon Dance Compass project will benefit many and also be enriched by a residency with Freddie Opoku-Addaie & company and to top it all, visiting stars from the Royal Ballet!
