Dance Resource Base is committed to developing dance and raising the profile of the art form in Northern Ireland. We work towards this by developing innovative partnerships at the local, national and international level.

RECENT / CURRENT PROJECTS

Community Schools NI Project
Dance Resource Base has been engaged by Artemis Schools NI to programme a range of dance classes promoting active participation in dance for local communities in East Belfast. For over two years (January 2010 – December 2012), Dance Resource Base employed freelance, specialist dance facilitators to deliver a range of dance classes aimed at different local groups and communities across East Belfast. The project was funded through Big Lottery and based in the new state of the art dance studio in Ashfield Girls High School. Dance classes included a weekly session for pupils of Mitchell House School, a specialist school for children with physical disabilities, Dance Fusion Summer Schools, courses in creative dance for children and young people and older people as well as Beginner’s Ballroom and Zumba classes.  This project was completed in July 2012.

Delve
With support from the National Lottery and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Dance Resource Base has provided a series of creative and business skills development opportunities for dance professionals. Workshops have included Inclusive Dance Practice, Marketing Dance, Fundraising Do’s & Don’ts, Creative Sponsorship, Developing the Creativity of Children through Dance and Teaching and Creating Dance with Older People. In early 2012, DELVE events will include a session looking at audience development and engagement and creating dance work for young people at part of the Belfast Children’s Festival 2013.
