What we do
Foundation for Community Dance is the professional organisation for anyone involved in creating opportunities for people to experience and participate in dance
We believe that dance can transform the lives of individuals and communities. Our vision is for a world where dance is part of everyone’s life, our mission to make engagement with dance important to individuals, communities and society. The Foundation works with, and on behalf of artists, organisations and teachers involved in leading, delivering or supporting community and participatory dance. Our membership reaches in excess of 4,500 dance professionals worldwide.
FCD’s leadership of the community dance network provides a platform for exchange, critical debate and peer learning, exposure to diverse dance practices, new contacts, and expands professional horizons, your profile and professional identity. It is an invaluable resource for anyone working in community dance, and creating opportunities for people to participate in dance.
In addition to a wide range of membership and professional services we organise our strategic development and advocacy work into five programmes:
National College for Community Dance (Continuing Professional Development), Dance, health and wellbeing, Dance and disabled people, Dance and London 2012 and Animated, the community dance magazine.
