Youth Dance England was initially funded through a joint partnership between Arts Council England, Department for Education and Department for Culture Media and Sport. 

We attract regular funding from Arts Council England and have been recently supported by Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Esmèe Fairbairn Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation and The Grocers’ Charity.

We are now attracting new funders and individual donors for our national programmes. 

From April 2016, Youth Dance England with merge with Dance UK, Association of Dance and the African Diaspora and the National Dance Teachers Association, to form One Dance UK. We will be able to offer even more opportunities to funders and partners to support our work.
