YFX 2026 Youth Dance Symposium
+ £4.00 transaction fee
An inspiring day of talks and discussions on dance for young people, for those who are making it happen.
Sitting at the heart of YFX, the Youth Dance Symposium is back. This is a day shaped for the people working at the heart of youth dance: educators, artists, producers, venues, youth workers and everyone in between.
Expect a dynamic mix of sector insight and real conversation. Hear from inspiring companies and national programmes from across the country, then dive into discussions shaped around what matters most to you and your work.
Hosted by young people whose lives have been shaped by youth dance, the symposium aims to:
- Champion brilliant work happening nationwide
- Build connections across the youth dance community
- Create space for collaboration and inspiration
- Explore how we can better support each other and our young people
