Directory & Networks

In September 2024 Parable Dance launched The Inclusive Dance Directory.

This national platform is dedicated to uniting inclusive dance artists and companies. You can stay informed with a fortnightly newsletter, packed with the latest opportunities as well as contribute your news, resources and biographies to enrich the community.

Join us in connecting the dots...

Our intention for starting this frequent networking meeting for experienced inclusive dance artists, was to stay connected, share opportunities, and feel less isolated as we came out of the pandemic. Now that we're all busy again, we have altered the format. The Cuppa Catch Up group will now have an annual networking event with hosts presenting a relevant topic. 

Our next event:

Networking event for 2025 to be confirmed

Our last event:

Nov 2024 - Sharing practice to enable access routes into dance

Hosted by Natasha Britton and Erica Moshman of Parable Dance, with guests:
- Jo Meredith, Creative Director, National Youth Ballet
- Louise Molton, Director of Education, The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing

An online networking event to connect the dance community and open discussion around how we can work together to inform change, both within the studio and organisationally. 

Network for Emerging Inclusive Dancers (NEID)

Join the Network for Emerging Inclusive Dancers (NEID). It is FREE to join, and includes presentations from established inclusive dance artists from around the UK. NEID is best suited for dancers in England, but we welcome those from throughout the UK. NEID was made possible using public funding by Arts Council England.
