About Us

Dance Umbrella was founded in 1978 with the aim of reflecting
and encouraging the burgeoning interest in contemporary dance in Britain. From modest beginnings as a showcase for emerging choreographers, Dance Umbrella's annual London festival now ranks highly among Europe's leading international dance festivals and the organisation is recognised as one of Britain's most adventurous dance promoters presenting an annual festival as well as regional tours from overseas companies.
