Welcome

We are a creative dance organisation that specialises in participation and training.

We create fresh ways of bringing dance into the community, including the education sector
and offer vocational training for dancers.

We like to take the dance programme out of the dance studio and into the places where
people live and work to ensure that dance is accessible to all

Attik dance supports the emerging dance infrastructure in the South West through classes, workshops and employment for dance professionals.
