Dance South West supports the individual partner agencies in their work, joins up the agencies for special projects and delivers its own programme. Dance South West was launched in 2004 in order to combat the isolation experienced across such a large region by creating a ‘joined-up’ or networked approach to development and partnership.
Dance South West is funded by Arts Council, South West and a range of other partners including the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and the National Trust.
