About Us

The Place building on Duke's Road from the side with a branded pink banner

The Place exists to develop, nurture and celebrate dance ideas and experiences for all. Watch and enjoy dance in our theatre, on tour or online, study dance with some 250 of the most diverse and extraordinary dance artists at London Contemporary Dance School or with other young people in our Centre for Advanced Training. Join like-minded artists to develop your ideas, take a dance class whether you are 6 or 60, work with us to bring more dance to your school or community group or connect with us through any other way that is relevant to you.

We are committed to powering your imagination through dance. Supported by a culture of innovation, risk taking & collaboration we strive to create extraordinary experiences with and for you.
