NEID

Network for Emerging Inclusive Dancers (NEID)

Are you interested in inclusive dance but not sure where to start? Do you need support and signposting to opportunities? Do you want to connect with others interested in this area of work? 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.

Tues 24th March 2026, 4-5pm - Speaker Frontline Dance - booking coming soon

Sign up for our newsletter on www.inclusivedancedirectory.com and you will be sent booking details for each new meeting.

I feel grateful to have met such a warm, knowledgeable and generous network of freelancers working across the UK.
