Venue Description

Yorkshire Dance is a charity which champions the value of dance and its development in Yorkshire. We create opportunities for people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to see, make and take part in high quality dance. We have a building base in Leeds city where you'll find our administration offices, three dance studios, and two meeting rooms. As well as hiring out our spaces for other organisations to use, we also run a number of internal projects and classes. These include: Saturday Superstars (our programme of children's dance classes), MADE: Mixed Ability Dance for Everyone (an inclusive, weekly dance session) and Yorkshire Dance Youth (our youth dance programme).

Accessibility

You enter Yorkshire Dance through an automatic door. There is a lift that can access the reception area and foyer on the first floor. Once you have signed in at reception, there is a second lift that can access all floors in our building. All studio and meeting room doors are wide enough for standard wheelchairs. If using a bespoke electric wheelchair, please get in touch in advance with measurements of our chair and we can let you know if you are able to access all spaces in our building.

Toilets

We have at least one accessible toilet on all floors of our building.

Staff

Our staff work closely with people with both learning and physical disabilities. We have a good knowledge of additional support that our visitors may need. We have two members of staff who can communicate using British Sign Language (one fluent, one intermediate).
