What We Offer

We run a wide range of activities to suit all ages, levels, and interests:

• Children & Young People – From fun and creative early years sessions to advanced training through our Centre for Advanced Training (CAT), we support young dancers to grow in skill, confidence, and creativity.
• Adults – Whether you’re brand new to dance or returning after a break, our weekly adult classes offer a friendly and supportive space to move, express yourself, and stay active.
• Community Engagement & Partnerships – Through our outreach and NSCD+ partnership model, we collaborate with schools, community groups, and organisations across Leeds, Yorkshire, and the wider North. Together, we deliver a year-round programme including curriculum-based sessions, enrichment activities, masterclasses, and dance intensives—bringing high-quality dance experiences into education and community settings.
• Riley Theatre & Riley Theatre Reach – Our work is closely linked to Riley Theatre, NSCD’s on-site performance venue. Through Riley Theatre Reach, we connect participants with professional artists, touring companies, and live performances—bridging the gap between dance education, performance, and community engagement.
• Holiday Intensives & Residencies – During Easter and summer, we run exciting short (1–2 day) intensives and longer (4–5 day) residencies. These offer participants the chance to work with professional artists and experience high-quality, creative practice.
