FRONTLINEdance advocates for both disability and dance. We are working hard to improve the access routes into dance and looking into ways that our current work could be accredited.
We currently sit on a number of groups to ensure both dance as an art form, and arts by disabled artists are both included and valued.

FRONTLINEdance sit on the cultural strategy group which includes artistic programming.
