Meet, move, learn and exchange with others in an environment that supports curiosity and experimentation.

Practice, research and exploration;

Workshops give space and time to research and develop movement and choreographic approaches through the work of visiting artists.

“Wainsgate Dances has been an absolute lifeline for me, allowing me to feel a part of a vibrant, creative, supportive dance community.”

Jamie Boylan

Spacious exchange

Workshops are also very much about the interactions and conversations between those who participate; in the spaces around the workshops; in breaks and at lunch, and in the walks through the surrounding countryside to and from the studio.

“On all levels I have appreciated my experience of being able to share my work in such a rich atmosphere”

Kirstie Simson
