ABOUT
The Place is a world-renowned dance organisation. We present more than 120 performances a year in one of Europe’s busiest dance theatres and support choreographers to create new dance works by commissioning and producing shows that are seen in London, across the UK and all over the world. We run a programme of classes attracting over 30,000 children and adults each year and our creative learning team deepen and grow our connections to our audiences and local communities.
