CENTRE FOR INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE

The Centre for Indian Classical Dance (CICD) specialises in promoting and teaching others about classical Indian dance forms. However we have now diversified into a wide range of dance forms from Bollywood to Hip-Hop. We teach, produce shows and nurture young talent to become professional dancers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
