DANCE IN DEVON LIMITED 

Dance in Devon is a charity for healthier, happier communities through dance. Our Vision is for an energised and activated county where lives are enriched by the possibilities of human movement: where a new democracy is enacted through meaningful, dance-led activity and inspiring art. Supporting expression, connection, well-being and challenging historic barriers to participation.
