THE YORKSHIRE DANCE CENTRE TRUST

Yorkshire Dance works through dance to create happiness, health, connection and change. We are excited by the diversity of dance in all its forms and styles. We want to support artists who ask questions of themselves, their work and of the world and those who challenge ideas about what is allowed. We dismantle traditional hierarchies both within the creation of dance and within our programming.

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted free reserves were £389,438, which equates to 4.9 months of total running costs. The trustees acknowledge that designated funds are unreserved and can be released to ensure that six months of running costs are maintained as per the company's free reserves policy. The organization faces an anticipated managed deficit in 2025/26 but remains confident in its resilience due to this strong reserves position.
