London’s leading dance venues are uniting to bring British Dance Edition to the capital in 2012.

British Dance Edition is the UK dance industry’s leading showcase event, profiling the very best of British dance to promoters and producers from the UK and across the globe. The event is an initiative of the National Dance Network and takes place biennially in different UK cities.

British Dance Edition 2012 is being produced by a consortium of eight of London’s leading dance organisations:
Dance Umbrella
East London Dance
Greenwich Dance
Laban
ROH2
Sadler’s Wells
Southbank Centre
The Place

For the first time the showcase will present a fully curated programme of work that has grown out of the consortium’s ongoing development work with artists and in consultation with the National Dance Network and other key producers. In addition to a broad programme of dance there will be opportunities to meet the artists, discuss the work and engage with other promoters. There will be a small trade fair taking place alongside the performance programme.

Registration is open now for UK and international delegates, as well as trade exhibitors. For full programme information and artists featured, visit the British Dance Edition website: www.britishdanceedition.com.

British Dance Edition 2012 is supported by Arts Council England and the British Council.
