About NDCWales

National Dance Company Wales embraces the distinctive voices of artists from near and far. We commission bold artistic collaborations with dance at their heart. We share dance of ambition and imagination in theatres, public spaces, festivals and immersive settings, creating unforgettable performance experiences.

We inspire everyone to move by nourishing talent and insight, enabling new ideas to emerge and develop.

National Dance Company Wales creates and presents ambitious, engaging dance work across the UK and internationally.

As a repertory company, we create work by a range of choreographers to reflect different perspectives. Our artistic programme is driven by a commitment to create new work, discover and develop new artists and to inspire audiences and communities through high quality and enriching dance experiences.

The company is made up of exceptional dancers, who have a rich physical understanding, and a sense of individual artistry and a highly talented creative and business team. The company performs at our home base, The Dance House in Cardiff Bay and at other venues in Wales, the wider UK and internationally.

In collaboration, we embrace bold, courageous new ideas that physicalise our values, and inspire audiences.

Equally important is the work we deliver to engage people in dance themselves, to tap into the wellbeing benefits of dance and experience its many benefits and our talent development programmes support those with aspirations for a career in dance, on and off stage. By enabling artistic innovation at all stages of career development, we seek to make a significant contribution towards a diverse dance ecology in Wales.

We are putting many voices and styles of dance presentation at the heart of our work, which develops our artform, and explores how dance can reach and connect with audiences. These distinctive collaborations aim to thrill, inspire, surprise and delight, presenting audiences with opportunities they could not experience anywhere else.
