The Iris Tomlinson Fund provides bursaries for those experiencing financial barriers so that young dancers are able to take part in weekly classes, join our youth companies (Shift and Shuffle), and access opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.

Because of your generous support, children and young people are discovering the joy of dance, building confidence, and expressing themselves creatively.

I really love dance. I love dancing with my friends. I love creating pieces with my group. Dance lets me communicate without speaking.
