The Jerwood DanceHouse might be temporarily closed, but we haven’t stopped dancing, and you don’t have to either! During this period of increased inactivity we are keen to ensure you can still access our services. Although it won’t be our usual programme, we’ll be releasing digital classes for you take part in at home from Monday 30 March 2020, through our YouTube channel.

Take a look at our new timetable and you will see that Home Is Where The Dance Is includes classes for different age groups, as well as chair-based sessions – so everyone can take part, wherever you are! Find out more

DanceEast is so much more than a dance class facilitator and theatre venue. Artists and professionals are at the heart of our organisation and we are committed to supporting them in various ways; Associate Artist Scheme, Rural Retreats, CPD workshops, Advance Levels Classes, Choreographic Development Fund and much more.

DanceEast has been running a range of innovative community projects for over thirty years. We work with a range of partners on local, national and international projects and enjoy introducing people to dance for the first time as much as developing and refining skills in more experienced dancers.
