Artistry Youth Dance is a non-profit community organisation, we rely on our earned income and some grants from trusts and companies to support our work. This enables us to keep the programme accessible and to keep our student fees as low as we can. However, we still need to raise funds to help us with running costs to present work and to ensure that we remain visible in the dance sector. Our goal is to contribute to a more culturally diverse representation of performers in the UK dance industry, our role and our work with young dancers has never been more important.
