Funders / Partners / Affiliations
Dance Ireland receives annual funding from the Arts Council to support our role as the national resource and service organisation for professional dance in Ireland. Additional support comes from Dublin City Council, membership fees and income generated by our activities and studio rentals at DanceHouse. Our international programme is supported by Culture Ireland.
Dance Ireland has received capital support for DanceHouse from the Department of Culture, Sport and Tourism. With DanceHouse, we provide a working base for a diverse range of dance activity, subsidised rehearsal spaces, affordable professional training and development programmes, performance opportunities and local initiatives, including evening and weekend dance classes.
Dance Ireland is open to developing partnerships and funding relationships with other commercial and non-commercial organisations to the benefit of dance in Ireland. If you are interested in working with us on any of our programmes, we would like to hear from you. Please contact Paul Johnson, Dance Ireland Chief Executive paul.johnson@danceireland.ie
In keeping with our role, partnerships are the means for us to further capitalise on our resources and assist in strategic development of dance.
